During charging you monitor the cell temperatures by tapping the BMS CAN Bus. The Temperature is transmitted as 16-bit unsigned integer (0.00229 °C/bit).
Looking at the data the temperatures look somewhat implausible (see picture below) - what went wrong most likely?

The signed-ness is wrong
The endianess is wrong
This is actually the cell voltage
The can bus is overloaded
The conversion factor is wrong

When you pass technical inspection (all stickers) it means:

I am allowed to participate in dynamic events
My vehicle is completely safe
I am eligible for the design finals
My car is completely rules compliant
I am only allowed to go to the practice area
If I change nothing and nothing breaks, i can not be disqualified for technical reasons

What is false regarding an Off-Course (OC) during endurance?

The time penalty for an off-course is 10s
An off-course during the skidpad event leads to a DNF for that run
An off-course can be avoided if the driver re-enters the track at or before the point he left it
An off-course occurs if a slalom gate is missed
An off-course occurs if a vehicle is outside the track boundary with all four wheels

Your battery pack is built from 3 Stacks of 112 Cells (112S3P), each stack has a capacity of 1.70 kWh and an internal resistance of 320 mOhm.
If all cells are charged & balanced to 3.80V and behave equally, which current do you draw at 35kW power output from the pack?

88.1 A
82.2 A
84.0 A

Which of the following statements about the legality of the car below is true?

+ track width = 2500mm
+ car track = 1700mm
+ cone height = 280mm
+ rear wing height = 2100mm
+ roll hoop height = 2200mm
Image (c)TU Munich

front wing overall width is too wide
rear wing is too wide
the structure around the cone slots is too high
cone slots would have to be movable (illegal movable aero devices)
endplate gurneys are generally not allowed

+ g = 9.81m/s²
+ Consider the car a point mass; Ignore aerodynamic effects.

70.0 km/h
25.2 m/s
22.5 m/s
79.7 km/h
81.3 km/h

Your self-developed electronic control module needs 200ms to safely shut down and write back data into nonvolatile memory.
How big would the power regulator output capacitance need to be at least to do that in the event of a unexpected shutdown (GLV Master switch turn-off), given that:

+ The device needs a constant current of 120mA
+ The regulated voltage is 5V
+ The CPU will brown-out at 3.8V
+ There is no reverse-flow back into the supply
