9) Durable to prevent breaking when thrown out of car
10) Electronics integrated with the rest of the car
11) Takes shifting mechanism into consideration
12) Displays the engine temperature clearly
13) Displays the oil temperature clearly
14) Comfortable
15) Cost-effective
16) Sleek design
17) Glare shield works effectively
18) Lightweight
19) Maintenance-friendly
20) Water-resistant
Problem Statement
-FSAE team is building a new car for competition in Spring 2014
-Currently, no information is displayed to the driver
-Increased driver performance and safety with convenient display of:
-RPM
-Gear
-Engine and Oil Temps.
