I'm pretty sure your clutchless downshift solution would be classified as a drive-by-wire operation, which is not allowed in fsae rules.

Anyways, I'm going to ask what everyone else is thinking...Do you have any sponsorship opportunities?

"B8.5.2 Throttle Actuation:
The throttle must be actuated mechanically, i.e. via a cable or a rod system. The use of electronic throttle control (ETC) or “drive-by-wire” is prohibited."

The "Downshift Actuator" component makes the system in violation of our rules. Flatshifter's other components may be of use to FSAE teams, however.

Haha! Its mentioned on their website on the how it works page!

"By operating the gear lever in the downshifting direction, the patented throttle blip system allows a smooth downshift to be made at all speeds without the need for a slipper clutch. The downshift actuator spindle replaces the original engine idle adjuster screw, and provides a precise throttle-blip of the correct level to ensure a smooth downshift. The system has a built-in inhibitor which helps prevent rear wheel locking or engine damage caused by shifting down at too high engine speed."

Throttle blipper! Worst part for a driver to learn!
