I am designing the brake system for our fsae car.There is a bit confusion.As per the design,for the initial 60% of pedal travel only regenerative braking work and mechanical brakes are actuated only after pedal is pressed beyond that 60%.
Now the confusion is that during the brake system tractive system is off so during the test there will be no braking for the intial 60% of pedal travel as there will be no regenerative braking.This will be like pedal will move freely without any braking intially for 60% travel during the test .
I want to ensure that is there any problem with this design.I just dont want to take any chance...

Prashume,
I strongly recommend to read the respective rule again.
