Looking back on all of the previous elements we have completed here are a summary of each I will explain what went well and what did not and our overall lessons learned from this project.
Element A: Element A is about coming up with our problem statement and our background information. Also Finding existing products and patents related to our project.
Element B: Is about methods products and actions. We explained current methods our track team uses to transport hurdles. Current products on the market that help solve this problem. Along with what actions we do to minimize the problem we have faced
Element C: Is our design requirements for our project. Also explaining how current solutions don't work and how we came up with the design requirements.
Element D: Is about is our 32 different solutions ranging from rocket powerd carts to a type of char lift system. Then we chose our top 5 solutions and ranked them with our design criteria and we picked the top score to be our prototype.
Element E: Is the tests we did on our hurdle cart. There are two time trail charts along with stress tests done with computer assistance.
Element F: Is about our current price and marketability of our product. It talks about how much it takes to build one and compares our solution to the other products on the market.
Element G: Is our prototype development with pictures and explanation on each.
Element H: Is what is our plan to test our design to show others that the design requirements were well thought out and would yield good test data.
Element I: Is the results of our testing data and proving that our design is superior to others.
Element J: Is the feedback from the engineers we presented too and talking about what they have to say about or project. Along with pictures from the presentation
Advice for others doing this class. Dont mess around with time just get the R&D over and get to prototyping. Also when you get done with spring break you're going to loose a lot of steam so keep powering through.
If you can, take multiple surveys, get questions out there about your project, some of the best additions we had were ideas from other people not involved in the course, and test, video your tests, categorize your tests, do a lot of tests.
