Day 4 of FSAE Michigan done! This was our busiest day yet as we competed in all manual and driverless dynamic events and the team presented at Design Finals! Very proud of all our achievements and excited to finish strong on Day 5.

A lot has happened on Day 3 of FSAE Michigan. We successfully completed all Driverless technical inspections, as well as rain, tilt, and brake test. We also had an amazing time presenting in Design preliminaries. Finally, we wrapped up the day by completing CMR’s first-ever driverless competition dynamic event - DV accel! We’re incredibly excited for dynamic events and to present at Design Finals on day 4!

Done with FSAE Michigan Day 2! Today we successfully completed Mech Tech, Tractive Battery Tech, and EV Active, as well as the cost event! We are looking forward to continuing inspections, design, and driverless accel tomorrow!

FSAE Michigan Day 1 Recap! As first in the tech line, we kicked off competition passing SES Inspection and had a great time talking to all of the other teams. We’re excited for an eventful Day 2!

And there they go! 🎓 Thank you to all of our wonderful seniors for the work and time you’ve put into this team year after year. We’re so grateful for the wonderful experiences and technical expertise you’ve contributed over these past four years, and we wish success upon every one of your future endeavors. We’ll make sure to carry on your legacy as we continue to compete and create.

2026 Driverless at Formula Hybrid + Electric

We are happy to share that Carnegie Mellon Racing showcased our 2026 competition vehicle, 26x, completing multiple fully driverless laps with track elements at Formula Hybrid + Electric last week! This marks the first time in CMR history that a single vehicle competed both driven and driverless at the same competition.

For the past four years, CMR has been retrofitting previous competition cars for driverless. This year, we built our competition vehicle with driverless integrated from the ground up. This has been the dream since day one, and we are endlessly grateful to the alumni, sponsors, and everyone who poured countless hours over the past few years into making this a reality.

Next up: Competing in the first Driverless + Electric class at FSAE Michigan in June. See you there!
