DVR consists of 250 points in which presentation of all the research and development

over the vehicle is to be given in front of the judges in 20 minutes (including

questionnaire round). DVR details should be uploaded at the team portal on the

BFKCT website. The prime objective is to design, analysis and documentation of the

Go-kart vehicle. The design should be complete in all a

considered ready to Manufacturing. The teams will be evaluated based on their

knowledge of the basic automotive design, analysis and documentation about the

Go-Kart design and manufacturing requirements.
