Motorsport Ethernet networking & data acquisition, BotBlox Systems
CAN was built for deterministic engine telemetry. It cannot move high bandwidth sensor data that modern motorvehicles generate. Ethernet and Single Pair Ethernet solves this bottleneck.
01
Every gram counts
Networking in an ultra-compact, lightweight package. Not one gram goes to waste.
02
Vibration tested
Engineered to withstand intense vibration and shock, with testing up to 2000 Hz and 90gs.
03
Single Pair [Automotive] Ethernet
Our Single Pair Ethernet hardware reduces wiring by 75%. Critical for reducing weight and complexity.
Four constraints define every motorsport network. Here is how BotBlox modules address each one.
Extreme Vibration
Race chassis transmit broadband vibration from the engine, gearbox and aero loads. Curbs and kerbing add transient shock loads at every stint.
MIL-STD-810H qualified
random vibration to 2 kHz, 90 g shock
Locking board-to-wire
Solid-state design
Engine-bay Heat
Network modules in or near the engine bay see sustained temperatures north of 80 °C, with brief spikes well above. Cabin and floor mount points are not far behind.
Up to +85 °C continuous
industrial range with no Gigabit derating
Fanless conduction cooling
MIL-STD-10H
Weight Budget
Every gram on the car costs lap time. A multi-port Ethernet switch wired in copper can consume kilos of harness — none of it goes into performance.
From 8 g (unhoused)
integrate directly into existing electronics enclosures.
Tiny volumes
Single pair (Automotive) ethernet
Empirical field use is the best proof. BotBlox converters run inside competition vehicles where every gram, every watt and every data packet counts.
Mission Partnerships
BotBlox hardware races with MIT Motorsports, whose student-built electric Formula SAE car uses the SPEBlox 100M to link its Hesai ATX LiDAR to the vehicle network — a straight swap, with no redesign of the electronics architecture.
