2. Only those teams, whose management gives an undertaking to allow them to use the workshop facilities, would be allowed to participate without exception.
3. Teams need to submit a list of facilities / equipments in operating condition with the college facilities which will be used to fabricate & assemble the vehicle as per design presented in virtual BAJA event.
4.During the actual manufacturing and fabrication process, the video clips that covers students working in
college facility need to be furnished in CD-Format during the College Level Technical Inspection.
PIPE:
Pipe is designated by ID (Inside Diameter) and Thickness . It is used where Heat Transfer needs to be stopped that is why in case where we want to transfer steam from boiler, we use pipes
TUBE:
Tubes are designated by OD (Outside Diameter) and thickness. These are used where we want heat transfer to happen.

All about Grinding :
First of all Grinding machines is a machine tool use for making the surface of workpiece surface even and of high quality.However, there are some roughing applications in which grinding removals high volumes of metal quite rapidly. Thus grinding is a diverse field. Types:The most commonly used are 1). Disc Grinder/ Angle Grinder / Side Grinder Angle grinders can be powered by an electric motor, petrol engine or compressed air. The motor drives a geared head at a right-angle on which is mounted an abrasivedisc or a thinner cut-off disc, either of which can be replaced when worn. Angle grinders typically have an adjustable guard and a side-handle for two-handed operation. Certain angle grinders, depending on their speed range, can be used as sanders, employing a sanding disc with a backing pad or disc. The backing system is typically made of hard plastic, phenolic resin, or medium-hard rubber depending on the amount of flexibility desired.
Angle Grinders give off a lot of sparks. This is a great hazard to the eyes
Safety goggles must be worn. Angle Grinders should never be used without their guard or handle attached, they are there as a necessary precaution for safety.

While grinding, if the soft metals get embedded in the inter-abrasive voids, it can be easily removed with the help of Dressing, i.e. the use of metal brush ..

The back side of Disc Grinder is provided with locking knob to help changing the discs ( Flap disc, Grinder Disc , Cutter Disc)
ALL ABOUT WELDING :For manufacturing of BAJA Vehicle this year , we are using Metal Inert Gas ( MIG) Welding also called as Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) or Metal Active Gas Welding (MAG) .This is welding process in which an electric arc forms between a consumable wireelectrode and the workpiece metal(s), which heats the workpiece metal(s), causing them to melt, and join. Along with the wire electrode, a shielding gas feeds through the welding gun, which shields the process from contaminants in the air. The process can be semi-automatic or automatic. A constant voltage, direct current power source is most commonly used with GMAW, but constant current systems, as well as alternating current, can be used. There are four primary methods of metal transfer in GMAW, called globular, short-circuiting, spray, and pulsed-spray, each of which has distinct properties and corresponding advantages and limitations.
Equipments :To perform gas metal arc welding, the basic necessary equipment is a welding gun, a wire feed unit, a welding power supply, an electrode wire, and a shielding gas supply.

Yeah, we are back once again (:p although i didn't have to do anything in the last year), from tomorrow morning we are going to start manufacturing of our vehicle , after getting things done spanning from doing the registration to the sponsorship and material procurement phase 1, yet still there is lot to do in them.
There is something we would like to tell you, if you are going to buy or collect materials for manufacturing your ATV Vehicle , these are the 20 Material Descriptions you shouldn't miss to know about..

DRILL BIT
Drill bits are cutting tools used to create cylindrical holes, almost always of circular cross-section. Bits are held in a tool called a drill, which rotates them and provides torque and axial force to create the hole. Specialized bits are also available for non-cylindrical-shaped holes.
The shank is the part of the drill bit grasped by the chuck of a drill. The cutting edges of the drill bit are at one end, and the shank is at the other.
Drill bits come in standard sizes, described in the drill bit sizes article. A comprehensive drill bit and tap size chart lists metric and imperial sized drill bits alongside the required screw tap sizes.
The term drill may refer to either a drilling machine or a drill bit for use in a drilling machine. In this article, for clarity, drill bit or bit is used throughout to refer to a bit for use in a drilling machine, and drill refers always to a drilling machine.
Exceptionally, specially-shaped bits can cut holes of non-circular cross-section; a square cross-section is possible.
Plywood is a manufactured wood panel made from thin sheets of wood veneer.
It is one of the most widely used wood products. It is flexible,
inexpensive, workable, re-usable, and can usually be locally
manufactured. Plywood is used instead of plain wood because of its
resistance to cracking, shrinkage, splitting, and twisting/warping, and
its general high degree of strength.
Plywood layers (called veneers) are glued together with adjacent plies having their wood grain
at right angles to each other. Cross-graining has several important
benefits: it reduces the tendency of wood to split when nailed at the
edges, it reduces expansion and shrinkage equating to improved
dimensional stability, and it makes the strength of the panel consistent
across both directions. There are usually an odd number of plies so
that the sheet is balanced—this reduces warping. Because of the way
plywood is bonded (with grains running against one another and with an
odd number of composite parts) it is very hard to bend it perpendicular
to the grain direction.
First of all I would like to congratulate all the members of BAJA , KIIT University , for qualifying into the Virtual competing 260 teams all across the country.
