We, the members of the team 'The Mechanical Autodidacts', are the new kids on the block of SAE Arena. We represent JB Institute of Engineering and Technology (JBIET), Hyderabad.

Every year, SAE INDIA conducts various nation-wide events, BAJA being one of their most prestigious events. This event provides opportunity to the undergraduate students to put their knowledge gained in making a 4-wheeled off road ATV.

This year, the virtual round of BAJA was held at Chitkara University on 12th, 13th and 14th July, where 388 teams had participated. We, being the new team and a lot of enthusiasm, curiosity and energy infused in us, had put all our efforts in it. And the result:

• Secured 5th position from Telangana State.
• An overall position of 109 and have qualified for the dynamic round.

The Issue: We require sponsorship and funds to make progress else the project will be shelved. The support, both mentally and financially, would give us confidence to undertake more projects in the future. We are not giving up hope.

Thank you for your time.
