SAE Baja is a competition run by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) in which collegiate teams design, build and race single-seat, off-road vehicles that can withstand the punishment of rough terrain. The CU Baja 2020 team has designed and built fully custom suspension, chassis, drivetrain, and control systems, in addition to implementing its first-ever all-wheel drive system.
