Sub-team Overview
UBC TBog is organized into 8 different subteams, including a variety of Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Design and Operations teams. Technical teams design key components of the toboggan, while the rest play an important part in competition or team management. Each team offers a different experience, potentially including CAD, machining, project management, technical writing, and artistic design. No matter your background, engineering, science, arts or business, we have a role for you on TBOG. Check out the sub-teams below to see where you fit!
Engineering Sub-Teams
-
Concrete Mix
Concrete Mix experiments with different aggregates and composition to create a lightweight, sustainable, high-strength concrete for the toboggan’s skis
-
Ski Design
Ski designs the geometry of our skis, the only surface able to touch the ground, with weight, steering, and snow all in consideration.
-
Braking
The toboggan must be stopped! Braking designs a mechanical braking system to be triggered by the toboggan rider and stop the toboggan in the shortest distance possible.
