Sponsoring - 2024/25 Season

Supporting Student Teams to Accelerate Design and Testing of Controls Since 2016

Student Teams! 

We will again support selected student teams for the 2024/25 season.

Start modeling your control designs in Simulink® and deploy them to a Speedgoat test system using Simulink Real-Time™. Test your control designs early in the season by using the Speedgoat test system as a controller prototype. Leverage the same test system as a central control unit in your car. Further, model your plant, which could be your electric vehicle, or your hyperloop vehicle in Simulink and deploy it to the Speedgoat test system. Test your control units by simulating your vehicle and the track along with test conditions like track surface, temperature.

How to apply:

  • Submit your application in PDF format (max. five pages) 
  • Send your application to the email address: sponsoring[at]speedgoat.com
  • Apply until September 15th, 2024 at the very latest.

The winners will be announced shortly after.

What we want to know:

Your application needs to address the following points:

  • How are you currently designing your control algorithms?
  • Are you using model-based design in Simulink for your controls design and testing?
  • Why is Speedgoat your preferred solution and what alternatives are you considering?
  • Are you looking to further test your controllers using hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing?
  • What are your detailed plans for using Speedgoat solutions for the upcoming season and specify which of the three standard configurations would fit your needs or if you would need a different configuration
  • Submit proof that you are designing controls using Simulink and outline how you intend to build on top of that to achieve your development goals.
  • Will you be ready to acknowledge the support you receive by adding Speedgoat’s logo on your car and your materials?

We wish you the best of luck!
