Georgia Tech Off-Road

If you’re interested in learning about engineering design, manufacturing components with industry-grade tools, or you want experience managing finances or marketing, GT Off-Road is the perfect team for you! Join us for an info session on Thursday, August 25 at 6:00 PM in Skiles 311 for more information about how to get involved. If you’re interested but can’t make it, fill out the RSVP form anyway and we’ll contact you. See you all tomorrow!

Last week, we wrapped up our first competition of the year at Tennessee Tech coming in 7th place overall!

If it wasn't for the dedication from our team members or the support from our organization's sponsors and the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering, none of this would have been possible. To each and every person that helped push us to where we are today, thank you!

Next stop, Rochester!

Dynamics ✅️
6th in Sled Pull ✅️
7th in Design ✅️

T-minus 1.5 hours until endurance. Stay tuned 😉

Following day 2 of competition, we've passed Tech inspection and are moving on to the dynamic events. Today weve got acceleration, maneuverability, S&T, and sled pull.

Wish us luck and more updates coming soon!

Proud to say that we hosted our official unveiling this last week! Thank you to all of our team members, faculty, and sponsors that helped make this possible, and thank you to everyone that came out to support us!

Only one more week until Tennessee Tech! We'll see everyone there.

We want to give a shoutout to Metlab Heat Treating for heat treating our parts as well as Caldwell Machine & Gear for cutting the teeth on our gears.

The work looks amazing, and we're excited to keep working with y'all in the future!

PS. Photos from our official unveiling coming soon!

We are proud to announce that we will be hosting our Official 2022 Car Unveiling this next Wednesday, April the 27th, at the Love Building Atrium.

Come by the Love Building and join us from 11 AM to 12 PM, or join us virtually through the link in the flyer (we'll be posting this again closer to the event) to get a chance to see the vehicle that our team has been working on for nearly the past year! We're excited to see everyone there!

Member Spotlight!

Meet Ryan Chen!

(IMPORTANT: Disclaimer about 3rd and 4th photos at bottom)

Ryan is a third year, electrical engineering major from Cincinnati, Ohio. Ryan joined the team two years ago as a part of the DAQ team and has since moved his way up to become our electrical lead. Outside of GTOR, Ryan is a part of the Medical Robotics Club, he does research at the Dynamic Controls and System Lab, and he has also interned at Honda R&D.

What do you like most about being a part of GTOR?

"I like being able to develop cool electronics to help improve the car, as well as the vibes when working alongside other GTOR members."

Fun fact: Ryan thinks raw black pepper is spicy.

DISCLAIMER: The 3rd and 4th photos are part of a joke. The 4th photo is a meme in the electrical engineering community. It's a stock photo (taken seriously we're pretty sure) where the woman is holding the soldering iron completely incorrectly. The part she's holding is extremely hot and will burn you if it's turned on. Ryan wanted to make fun of this in his spotlight post, so we staged a photo for it. The iron is off (obviously) in the 3rd photo. Please never hold a soldering iron that way. Stay safe!

Meet your 2022 Georgia Tech Off-Road Team!
