About us

THE TEAM Team Revamp-i-ours is a collegiate team of 25 passionate and determined undergraduate

Engineering students led by Mr. Parthasarathy, our faculty advisor from the Department of

Mechanical Engineering. We seek to extend the knowledge that we gain from our in-class courses

onto real world applicability. At the moment, we are tasked with the objective of designing and

fabricating a Baja buggy with optimized performance characteristics. Although this maybe our first

time competing in this competition, we have experiences and successes that arise from others.

Through every challenge and failure, we’ve emerged evolved and adapted, ready for any challenge

that is yet to come. At the moment, we have secured a rank of 67 out of 387 teams in the

first round of the competition.

MISSION STATEMENT

The purpose of Team Revamp-i-ours is to expand upon and apply theory

learned in the classroom through participation, leadership, outreach, design,

and fabrication of an off-road buggy, an All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV), for the SAE

Collegiate Design Series competitions for the betterment of our abilities, in

forging our career paths.

Baja India is an intercollegiate design, fabrication and racing competition organized by SAE India with

students from Universities all over India competing to build an Off-road vehicle or an ATV (All-Terrain

Vehicle) with capabilities of sustaining in the harshest of environments with optimum performance

parameters including manoeuvrability, rigidity, power, etc.

All competitions include static and dynamic events. Static events consist of design and sales presentations

in addition to design and cost reports submitted prior to the competition. Dynamic events include

acceleration, traction, manoeuvrability, a specialty event, and endurance. Each competition is based on a

total of 1000 points

The concept of success in a competition of

such scale will depend on countless

factors. However, the most important

among these factors, is support. Each

student within our chapter brings a

defined sense of innovation to our design

tables. Therefore, we need sponsors such

as yourself to help turn our research and

ideas into something more concrete. Not

only will your contribution allow our team

to meet and exceed our goals for the

2017-2018 Competition Season, but it will

also enable our members to encounter

and tackle real world engineering

challenges, both technical and financial,

that is sure to shape our career paths. Our

team, being student-run, is only minimally

funded by the College. Therefore, we seek

sponsor support in any form (Monetary,

raw materials, supplies, services, etc.).

Your support is absolutely vital to the

foundation of our team. Most

importantly, our sponsors will receive

considerable exposure during the main

event, which have monumental audiences

including:

Students and faculty from

universities all over India.

Professionals in the mobility

industry

Social media

Representatives from important

automobile companies

Off-road racing enthusiasts.

Besides plenty of exposure, our sponsors

will also have the opportunity to mentor

and support engineering students of the

future, providing hands-on experience in

vehicle design and construction, as well as

team management and marketing, which

could benefit your company in the near

future.

Sponsorship of the PIT Baja Project

supports the career development of all

students involved whilst aiding in the

promotion of engineering and higher

education to the youth of this country,

thus positively influencing your company

brand by highlighting its commitment to

the community and also its interests.
