Building the Foundation for Autonomous Formula Engineering

Building an autonomous formula-style vehicle from scratch means solving problems in mechanical engineering, embedded electronics, software, and applied AI at the same time — which is exactly why APEX is organized around six divisions rather than one flat team.

Autonomous Systems sits at the center, integrating the work of Formula, Hardware, Software, Labs, and Media into a single vehicle. Each division owns a clear slice of the problem, but nothing ships without the others.

This structure is deliberate: it mirrors how real engineering organizations are built, and it gives every student on the team a concrete area of ownership from day one — not just a task list.
