The car's speed sensor wasn't reading accurately because it wasn't constrained to point at the center of the cam ring, and wasn't held at the right distance from the ring's teeth to stay inside the sensor's reading bounds. Aariz was tasked with fixing it: he built a coordinate system and used plane mates within the assembly to lock the sensor's orientation to the ring's center, then measured the actual physical sensor with a caliper and re-CADded it to exact dimensions rather than trusting an approximate model. He designed the mounting bracket to mate directly onto that verified sensor position, using dimensional tolerancing to hold the sensor within 0.01 mm through the car's high-g cornering and maneuvers, kept the bridge gap within FSAE's rules, and built a SolidWorks configuration table so each bracket variant matched the specific sensor it would be paired with -- the tolerances were tight enough that small differences between physical sensor units would throw off the reading otherwise. He also performed composite layups to manufacture the car's carbon fiber body panels, contributing to a lighter, stronger chassis.
