Preliminary Design
Requirements, architecture, risks and alternatives are challenged before a system is built.

RESEARCH
Before hardware, there is a question.
CORE Research does not build vehicles. It finds the right question, tests hypotheses, measures, documents and feeds technical evidence back to vehicle teams.
CORE RESEARCH / NOTE 001
The question “why are we doing it this way?” must never disappear.
Research is not about collecting competition points; it raises the quality of the team's engineering decisions.
Experiment
Uncertainty is reduced through measurement; the test rig itself is an engineering product.
Technical Report
Why a decision was made and what a test revealed survives for the next member.
Publication / Patent
Sufficiently original and validated work can become academic or intellectual output.
Technology Validation
A new sensor, algorithm, power architecture or mechanism is validated before vehicle integration.
