2005 BUV Design
Competition
Tri-State University
IUPUI took 2nd place and last years champion, the
Milwaukee School of Engineering took 3rd place.
The
favorite events this year were the Mud Pit and the
Obstacle Course. These events tested both vehicle
and driver skill. The Mud Pit included two
circuits of deep ruts with mud up to 15” deep. Very
few vehicles made it through both circuits without
problem. As vehicles got stuck, the spectators
enjoyed watching the drivers’ teammates push the
lightweight vehicles to
freedom. Sometimes they had to be “rescued” by a
4wd ATV.
University of Missouri - Columbia
The Obstacle Course included logs, ditches, four
foot moguls, rocks, drops, “frame twisters”, ruts,
rain, and of course mud. All the student
teams showed the front-wheel drive when hitting sizeable
obstacles as their vehicle tended to “climb” over the
obstacles.
Clay City Team (FWD)
Other events included the Endurance Test, Swamp
Crossing, the Hill climb, Acceleration Test, Agility
Course, Oral Report, and the Static Pull.
Sand bags were the load. HQ building behind.
