Welcome� The Land Rover 4x4 in Schools Technology Challenge is an International Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths (STEM) project which challenges teams to build a radio controlled four-wheel drive (4x4) vehicle to the specifications provided. The vehicle will be required to successfully navigate and complete obstacles on an off-road test track that is just as demanding as the real thing, and emulates the capabilities of a full size 4x4 vehicle.In Australia, the Land Rover 4x4 in Schools Technology Challenge Technology Challenge is managed by Re-Engineering Australia Foundation Ltd.This document will identify the challenge along with the learning outcomes, accreditation and benefits of being involved in the project. This document along with the 2019 Season Technical Regulations document aims to inform you of all you need to know about the challenge and answer any questions you may have. If, however, you would like to speak direct to a Land Rover 4x4 in Schools Technology Challenge authorised representative about the challenge you can contact REA.This document has been produced by educational and engineering experts to aid you through the Land Rover 4x4 in Schools Technology Challenge Technology Challenge process, from registration to the national final. Please take the time to read through this document before you get started and hopefully with this guidance you will help form a successful team and a challenge winning vehicle.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE CHALLENGEThe goal of the project is to raise awareness, interest and enthusiasm in Engineering through the practical application of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). As mentioned the challenge can be undertaken either in or out of school lessons. During school time the challenge can be run in Engineering and Design & Technology or simply as an extracurricular activity.The Engineering industry requires creative multi-disciplined individuals who are capable of problem solving through individual endeavour and working in motivated teams. This project emulates a work situation where specialists come together to resolve a complex problem and share intellectual and practical resources to effect a solution. The challenge is an excellent opportunity for students to work in design teams to gain an awareness and understanding of project management, and other key skills. Teams are also encouraged to link with Engineers from companies who will be able to support teams by acting as industrial advisers, mentors or providing ‘hands on’ support to the project giving it an essential industrial partnership.The objectives of the Land Rover 4x4 in Schools Technology Challenge are to provide a challenge that:

• Is educational but which provides participants with the opportunity to experience an activity that is realistic and relevant to the operations within industry.

• Provides young people with an opportunity to learn and develop through participation in a hands-on practical experience.

• Provides an experience where young people can develop and embed the knowledge and skills later required to meet specifications within the subjects of Design & Technology and Engineering.

• Enables young people to gain an understanding and awareness of what engineering involves and which encourages them to actively think about a career within engineering.

• Is motivating, exciting, challenging and fun for both the young people and adults participating.• Provides young people with the opportunity to work as a member of a team or independently to

develop problem solving tools and techniques.• Integrates subject knowledge from key areas of the curriculum with the wider agenda of work related

learning, enterprise, key skills and personal development.• Enables real life engineers (STEM Mentors) to act as role models and share their engineering

knowledge.

PROJECT RATIONALEThe aim of this challenge is to create a curricular design and make activity, which draws heavily on Engineering, applied science, applied mathematics, CAD/CAM, Electronics, financial management and ICT. The project expects to develop the participant’s skill in the practical application of scientific principles through the design and manufacture of a radio controlled 4WD vehicle. The emphasis is on low speed control. Through the challenge participants will gain an understanding and experience the following:



1� Learning Outcome• Analysing a client design brief / business plan• Developing design specification and solution• Producing and reading engineering drawings• Selecting appropriate drawing techniques• Communicating a design solution• Selecting suitable materials, parts and components for a product• Creating a production plan• Using processes, tools and equipment (including CAM), required to make an engineered product.• Checking that the quality of your work conforms to the standards required• Applying health and safety procedures

2� Investigations• ICT in engineering• New components and the range of modern materials• Control technology• Manufacturing techniques• Quality control

3� Team Work• Plan work with others, identifying objectives, and clarifying responsibilities and working arrangements• Working cooperatively with others towards achieving identified objectives, organising tasks to meet

responsibilities• Exchange information on progress and agree ways of improving work with others to help achieve

objectives.

4� Learning Performance• Help set short term targets with team members and plan how these will be met• Take responsibility for some of your learning, using a plan and support from others to help meet targets.• Improve performance by learning through a practical activity• Review progress and provide evidence of achievement

ENVIRONMENTAL AND SUSTAINABILITYJudges will review teams’ environmental and sustainability impact on their vehicle and project approach. Teams will be judged on the following elements to assess the team that best demonstrates to build an environmentally friendly and sustainable vehicle.

• Vehicle weight • Recyclable materials used on vehicle and throughout the project • Carbon footprint • Elements of the project that can be re-used in future years

TEAM ACCOUNTS, FINANCES & B�O�M�Each team is required to record an account of all the team’s income and expenditure. The accounts must clearly show all sponsorship, in-house made components and the team’s budget. Budget - The budget for each team to spend on components to build their vehicle is a suggested maximum total of $450 excluding the cost of starter kit or equipment. Teams are encouraged to make as much as possible themselves.Finance Sheet - Each team is required to produce a finance sheet which details all of the above information. Please note the finance sheet is different to the Bill of Material (B.O.M).Bill of Material (B.O.M) - Each team is required to produce a B.O.M which clearly details the team’s expenditure itemising each item/component purchased out of the budget. Any parts made in-house can be costed as free and not included in the budget. Any parts received free due to donations, recycling components from previous model or sponsorship should be included in the budget at 33.33% of their RRP price. Any components bought in should be included in the budget at the full cost price.



ARTICLE C1 - DEFINITIONS
