An accumulator container consists of 8 stacks connected in series. Each stack has a 11s4p configuration. The maximum cell voltage is 4.2V, the nominal voltage is 3.8V and the minimum cell voltage is 3.2V while the nominal capacity of each cell is 8Ah. The delay time of the second air is 2800ms and the input capacitance is 800uF. What is the maximum value of the precharge resistance that can be connected in series?

During the Skid-Pad event, a team run only one heat. At the first run, the right lap time was 5,672 seconds and the left lap time was 5,591 seconds, whilst the car knocked down 1 cone. At the second run, the right lap time was 5,602 seconds and the left lap time was 5,523 seconds, whilst the car knocked down 2 cones. The lowest corrected average time recorded at the competition was 5,562 seconds. What is the final score of the team at the Skid-Pad event.

The firewall must extend sufficiently far upwards and/or rearwards such that any point
