A couple of things I'm in interested in are:
* How do people mount their brake lines? We all know zip ties are good but they dont look professional.
* How have teams floated their rotors in the past?

Most rotors in this competition are made from a metal compound of some sort, and every one has been heavier than water from my recollection. I think it would be very difficult to float a rotor, unless you were talking about floating it in mercury, or some other dense liquid. http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

Seriously, floating rotors work fine, some use them some don't. It comes down to the specs of your specific system as to whether it is needed or not.
