Initial Design
Based on my teams beginnings stages, we were deciding to build a Tain or a Tonka
We made the executive decision to pursue with the Train design which we intended to grab the viewer's attention with it's appearance, it Thomas The Train appearance
This is the base of the train which we pictured to contain essentially all the wires, motors, the brain, etc, would be at under the complete build
Creating the Wooden Wheels For Train
The wheel was designed to be light weight for the motors to rotate easier, as well as a easier way to create a piece that would fix in the axile of the gear. Two wheels are attached to each other while having the axile piece on one end
Chair Building Process
Final bits of Build
This piece allowed the front of the train to be possible with the slats to act as a body towards to face
