Abstract
On Friday 2 May, the Manchester & Chester local section of the Institute donated a prize to the students at Manchester University. The teams needed to deliver the buggy on time and budget, and therefore, the project allowed the team members to combine project management techniques with technical design flair and practical construction skills to produce a winning combination.A total of 39 teams competed for the prize, and the race day brought together the whole year to watch the nine best buggies race over the track during 60 frantic minutes.
The winning team completed the course in 29.9 s and were worthy winners of the shared prizes donated by the Manchester & Chester local section. Each member of the team has been invited to the Manchester & Chester Annual dinner on Thursday 2 October. They have also shared a £250 cash prize, and they have received 2 years membership to the Institute.
