Formula E  is a 14 week long design and build project that culminates with a race competition.                                                                                                                             The event has been held annually since 2006 at the Art Center College of Design, hosted by the Graduate Industrial Design Department.                                              Each team designs, builds, and develops a remote controlled car that is powered by 16' elastic band.

Teams from all of the world compete including those from;

• Art Center College of Design

• Pasadena Community College

• Beijing University of Technology and Tsinghua Universities in China.

As well as Pro Category teams from;

• Hot Wheels

• Axial Racing.

Team Monster

Team Monster Members: Chase Airmet, Shiva Farrokhi, Justin Kim, Ekin Zileli

As a member Team Monster we did what no other team has done in the last 10 years.                                                                                                                         Up against fifteen competing teams we won: 

• ALL three events &

• broke ALL previous record times

• set a new record category for BOTH taking first and setting record times in all three races.

Our priority was to create a competitive car with a focus on function. We garnered ideas from teams past and present, and then continued to apply new systems and strategies that had never been seen before.

Record Breaking Races

Car Build

Innovation 

Our design is extremely lightweight, strong, and easy to fix.  This allowed for continuous racing practice and constant improvements in a timely manner.  Specific innovations are:

• flexible long design

• braking system that gripped the exterior of the drivetrain.
