Sub-team Overview

Concrete Mix experiments with different aggregates and composition to create a lightweight, sustainable, high-strength concrete for the toboggan’s skis.

Ski designs the geometry of our skis, the only surface able to touch the ground. The must carry and distribute the weight weight of the toboggan (which can be up to 1500lbs) and heavily coordinate with Mix and Steering.

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.

Superstructure designs and builds a metal (usually steel) rollcage that protects the riders in case of a crash. Safety analysis and structural design are integral to this sub-team.

Steering engineers the mechanical control system of the Toboggan. Their design must ensure responsive handling and is showcase by the slalom race at competition.

Elec takes on different projects each year. This varies from a braking assistance system using electric actuators to themed videos games to showcase at our technical exhibition.

Tech-Ex actualizes our chosen theme at competition by designing a creative booth to display our toboggan. Artistic design + wooden toboggan shipping container = an amazing tech-ex display.

Spirit is one of the most important elements of competition. Spirit designs costumes, patches and dances. They compete in mini spirit challenges throughout the year, and bring the energy and fun to comp!

External manages any sponsorship outreach and team marketing. They run the TBOG social media and website, photography at competition, sponsorship appreciation events and much more.

Finance tracks budgets, manages spending, and allocates resources effectively. The subteam handles reimbursements, plans competition costs, and keeps the project financially sustainable.

Admin keeps the team organized and running smoothly. The subteam manages communications, documents, and logistics using organizational tools.
