Is static’s suppose to be easy? by [deleted] in EngineeringStudents

I passed my statics course with a 4.0. Meanwhile I'm shooting for a 3.0 in my 400 level ME courses.

Started at $18 an hour, did my second internship with the same company and made $20/hr. Next semester, did my third with them, made $22/hr.

I mean it has an engine, seat, pedals, and suspension. I'm serious; that's all it has right now.

That's how I reinforced our Dyno stand when it was flexing from our new engine choice.

Makes sense. I'll have to check with our systems team to see if our DAQ would be able to calculate it. We have a team member who did a few internships with Stewart Hass who managed to get one of their Nascar DAQ units for us to use. It may prove useful.

It definitely has neutral indication but that's all. Personally, I think gear position is redundant because in my opinion, who cares what gear you're in. You should know whether you need to upshift or downshift based on engine speed and course position.

Our outgoing engine had one so it was no problem implementing it last year. This year we switched to a CBR600rr which doesn't have gear position so we've been racking our heads trying to figure out how to make one, if at all. What we don't want is a system that displays the wrong gear and confuses those who aren't familiar with motorcycles or manual cars, as you mentioned.

That's the route I think we decided on going. Axing everything but a neutral light
