We displayed a plethora of STEM principles throughout the course of our project, here are some we can think of listed below:
S - Static stress testing and computer-assisted design work
T - Trailer hitch ATV assistance, Welding
E - Multiple prototyping phases
M - Testing and efficiency calculations
This data is showing that our cart can move the most hurdles per second going up and down the ramp at our school compared to the existing hurdle cart that the school uses and by going by hand.
This test data shows that our cart is 1.8 times more efficient across 10 meters with about a 80% capacity. When we add more hurdles onto our cart to 20 we are 2 times more efficient than the existing product our school is using.
We ran a static stress test of the two resting channels for the hurdles at the weight of ten hurdles and found no major deformation.
There were several modifications made to the cart during the actual building phase, accounting for our human error.
