Power electronics for TEKNOFEST teams.
From electric vehicles to underwater systems, TEKNOFEST categories share one problem: managing high current in a limited volume, together with safety logic that will pass scrutineering. Our boards are designed for exactly that.
About the organisation
TEKNOFEST is the Aviation, Space and Technology Festival organised by the T3 Foundation together with the Turkish Ministry of Industry and Technology. The festival hosts a large number of technology competitions in which high-school and university teams compete.
In several of these competitions the teams have to build their own drive and power distribution systems. Our team worked inside those teams, taking direct responsibility at every stage from component sourcing to board assembly, testing and commissioning. The Baetronics boards came out of the problems we kept running into there.
Baetronics is not an official partner, sponsor or authorised representative of this organisation. This page exists to describe the power electronics needs of teams taking part.
Categories our boards are built for
Efficiency Challenge Elektrikli Araç
An efficiency race is entirely about managing losses. Low-impedance power paths and buffer capacitance that holds the rail on launch feed straight into the energy spent per lap. The deadman input and contactor driver cover the safety chain scrutineering looks for.

Robotaksi — Binek Otonom Araç
In an autonomous vehicle the power stage has to talk to the high-level controller. Telemetry over classic CAN, position feedback from 3× Hall and a safety input that joins the emergency stop chain all come on the board.
Boards that fit
İnsansız Hava Araçları
Feeding the flight controller and the motor group from one battery means keeping the avionics rail away from motor noise. The power distribution board solves that split on one board with its multiple balanced outputs, and comes with mounting that does not work loose under vibration.
Boards that fit
İnsansız Su Altı Sistemleri
Every watt of heat produced inside a sealed hull stays in the system until it can get out. Thermally sized copper power planes and low-loss distribution translate directly into run time on a vehicle working in a closed volume.

What we give teams
Planning around the competition calendar
We identify domestic, in-stock alternatives for critical components up front, so the calendar is not left at the mercy of overseas lead times.
Safety that is ready for scrutineering
The deadman input and the 12 V contactor driver circuit are inside the board. You do not have to carry a separate relay board — or explain one.
Documentation you can put in the report
The connection diagram, power-up order and typical fault states come in writing, including technical data you can use directly in your design report.
Reachable during race week
If you get stuck fitting the board into the vehicle, you can reach us on the same line you used at the quote stage.
Questions teams ask
Will your boards pass TEKNOFEST scrutineering?
Our team has its own design — can we get manufacturing support only?
