The Wildcat Fluid Power Club (WFP) is a student-run organization at SUNY Polytechnic Institute dedicated to promoting interest in fluid power systems and related technologies. Affiliated with and sponsored by the National Fluid Power Association (NFPA), we receive funding, components, and support to compete in their annual Fluid Powered Vehicle Challenge, a prestigious competition among universities.

Membership is open to all SUNY Polytechnic students in good academic standing. Active members are expected to regularly attend meetings, participate in club activities, and uphold high standards of conduct.

Our club’s primary focus is on designing, fabricating, and testing a unique fluid-powered vehicle. Unlike a traditional bicycle or tricycle, our vehicle's propulsion system relies on a fluid connection driven by a human rider’s movements. Members collaborate to design and build advanced hydraulic, electronic, pneumatic, and mechanical systems that incorporate innovative features such as regenerative braking and energy storage.

Each year, our efforts culminate in a four-day, all-expenses-paid trip to a national competition, where we showcase our vehicle in various races and design reviews. There are opportunities to win several awards, including cash prizes, which may be distributed to students or the University.

Joining WFP offers valuable opportunities for networking with industry professionals and gaining practical, hands-on experience in an environment that mirrors real-world engineering challenges. Becoming a part of Wildcat Fluid Power is not just about enhancing your college experience—it's an investment in your future.
