This is Seattle University's first effort in ASME human powered vehicle competition. The effort began in Fall 2003 with a flyer, a recruitment gathering & presentation, and then weekly meetings. Fundings for the project were secured late Fall 2003 and early Winter 2004 from the Office of Student Development (Educational Development Fund) and the College of Science and Engineering. Donated components from SRAM, instrumental to our project, arrived late Fall 2003. Steel tubing and other components needed to finish the project were donated by three Seattle area bicycle stores. Specialized service in painting and welding were acquired at below cost from local welder and auto body shop, with direct hands-on participation from the team members during those processes. Department of Mechanical Engineering supported the project by providing competition registration fee and traveling expense for the 12 student travelling team to the competition site at Corvallis, Oregon.
Rudy Hawkenheimer, the SU HPV entry into the 2004 ASME HPV Challenge's Utility Class competition, placed 3rd among 8 entries (6 of them showed up) in Corvallis, Oregon.
