The Remote Control Custom Car Open is an engineering competition for students in grades K-12, organized and led by a high school student committee. Students participate in teams of 2-4. As part of the registration fee, teams receive a complimentary membership to the Faulhaber Fab Lab and the opportunity to participate in various workshops that teach students how to design, fabricate and customize enhancements to their car. The program culminates in a race day that includes a design competition, challenge race and obstacle race. Winners receive cash and scholarship prizes.
