Internal Projects

What we build between competitions.

Alongside TMTDC and IAAPA, members work on a hands-on internal project that runs from October to March.

2026–27 · October → March

Small-scale launch coaster

A physical, space-themed scale model of a launch coaster, built by four teams working together and presented at the showcase in March.

  • Electrical

    The launch motor and its speed control, braking and emergency shutoff, and Arduino-based sensors that automate the launch and braking sequences.

  • Cart & Rail

    A cart, wheel carrier, and rail that work together, with braking and restraints designed for comfort and safety.

  • Structural Support

    Stable supports for the whole model: loads, frames, bracing, and attachments, all modelled in CAD.

  • Creative

    The theming that makes it a ride: a space-themed story, façade, queue, signage, and sightlines.

More details and build photos coming soon.
