Do the judges consider country/continent specific antro data.. Cuz the Indian anthro data is diff from that mentioned in the rules...

Percy is VERY well specified within the rules, he has a circle specified for his head, which sits at a specific distance from another circle which makes up his shoulders, that circle in turn sits an equally specific distance from his buttocks, which believe it or not is also a circle of fixed diameter.

Then the specification stops, this is because there is no more of him.

He has "no" depth in side view. He is very, very, very simple to do in CAD.

Do however, make sure that any real ergonomic rises in your seat, i.e small rise between the drivers legs need to be taken into consideration. Percy is not human, he is merely acrylic discs and acrylic discs do not like ergonomic seats.

We just used the specs in the rules book and built one for our own use. I could take a photo when I get to the shop if sombody wants one.

I thought I read somewhere that they used a mannequin in Australia this year. We have the circle thing template, but we also have people that drive the car that are taller than that so we don't even really need a percy template.

We have drivers taller than percy as well, but due to 1) unique torso vs leg lengths from person to person and 2) that the human spine can curve where percy does not; percy ends up being our more conservative representation.
