Introduce a static discipline for 2027

[caudri-loki]

Background

The organization agreed to reintroduce a static discipline for 2027. It should highlight meaningful technical work and each team's distinctive engineering choices rather than reward superficial presentation or “buzzword bingo”. The exact format remains open.

Formats to evaluate

• a short technical presentation;
• a poster or one-page vehicle profile;
• a Team Description Paper or technical report;
• a combined format with a short Q&A.

Decisions required

• Is the discipline scored or purely informative?
• What must every team submit or present?
• Which criteria are evaluated?
• Who reviews or judges the discipline?
• How much event time is allocated?
• How is the format kept accessible for new teams?

Acceptance criteria

• Team feedback has been collected through direct calls or another reliable format.
• A single format or clearly defined combination has been selected.
• Submission and presentation requirements are documented.
• Scoring or non-scoring status is explicit.
• Jury, timing, and event integration are defined.
