<h2>Our Mission</h2>
<p>
UCalgary Baja is a student organization that allows students to
design, build, and race an off-road vehicle to participate in the
Baja SAE competition organized by the Society of Automotive
Engineers (SAE) every year.
</p>
<p>
We're dedicated to giving members hands-on experience working on
the car, which allows them to both learn new skills and
techniques, such as using Solidworks, Ansys, machining, and
welding, as well as utilizing knowledge learned from classrooms.
This is done with practical projects, allowing students to build
skills and knowledge that employers are looking for. We strive to
bridge the gap between education and application, making learning
effective and memorable.

<h2>The Competition</h2>
<p>
Every year, we take our car to the United States to compete
against other teams from all across the globe. Teams from
universities design, build, and race these all-terrain vehicles
that are capable of going through a series of rough courses, as
well as discuss their findings, such as cost reports and design
choices, all in a series of dynamic and static events. We also get
the chance to connect with engineering students from around the
world, trading advice and making new friends, and network with
sponsors to explore future job opportunities.
</p>

<h2>Static Events</h2>
<p>
Static events are where the whole team steps away from building
the car and takes a look at the professional and analytical aspect
of the team. The business presentation, cost event, and technical
inspection are all events that are equally important as the actual
car, as this is where we show real-world understanding of
engineering, manufacturing, and business decisions. It's not only
about making the car, it's also about demonstrating a clear
understanding behind design rationale, cost efficiency, and
marketability within a competitive industry.
</p>
{/* <ol>
<li>
<h3>SALES PRESENTATION</h3>
<h3>Business Team</h3>
<p>
In collaboration with the rest of the team, develops a concept
proposal and presents it to a panel of industry judges to gain
support, such as funding.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3>COST EVENT</h3>
<h3>Mechanical and Electrical Teams</h3>
<p>
- bruh idfk DESIGN - The team presents the design, research,
and testing of the vehicle to a panel of judges.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3>TECHNICAL INSPECTIONS</h3>
<h3>Whole Team</h3>
<p>
(maybe take off) - Judges inspect every aspect of the car in
order to make sure it complies with competition rules and
ensure safety.
</p>
<p>
(maybe sperate? ie Frame Tech, Engine Tech, General Tech,
etc.)

<h2>Dynamic Events</h2>
<p>
Dynamic events are where the car is actually put to the test, with
different events each made to test a certain aspect of the car.
Acceleration, sled pull, hill climb and maneuverability are all
events that show how our vehicle does against other teams. After
all these events, the finale comes in the form of the endurance
event, a four-hour race filled with jumps, pits, and other
obstacles, and teams compete to see how many laps the cars can
make. It combines all the factors from previous events, on top of
the reliability of our car.
</p>
{/* <ul>
<li>
<h3>BRAKE INSPECTION</h3>
<p>The cars is tested to see if all four wheels stop</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3>ACCELERATION</h3>
<p>The car is tested for speed by uhh i forgot</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3>SLED PULL</h3>
<p>The car's torque is tested by pulling variable load</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3>HILL CLIMB</h3>
<p>
The car is tested to see how high the car can climb up a
variable slope
</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3>MANEUVERABILITY</h3>
<p>
Obstacle course, where the fastest and most accurate vehicles
are awarded more points
</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3>ROCK CRAWL</h3>
<p>
This one is self explanitory, drive over boulders and large
logs
</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3>ENDURANCE</h3>
<p>
All the cars in the competition race for four hours, seeing
how many laps each car can handle. This event is worth the
most points and is the most exciting.
</p>
<p>
Fun Fact: This is the only wheel to wheel event that SAE
hosts.
