Finished Prototype

To validate our computer models and furter test the ergonomics of our proposal we built a fully functional prototype. We built the prototype using different materials and process then our propose model but we managed to perform all the test we needed and it was perfect for our presentation purposes.

In addition to the ergonomy, the protoytpe allowed us to alleviate some risks, namely :

• Heat dissipation inside the enclosing (to confirm our numerical analysis)

• Mass distribution and balance effects when pushing (Critical in our one wheel set-up)

• Water evacuation and water proofing

• Market acceptation of the device

Furthermore, for presentation purposes to our project supervisers, it was more coherent to present a fully fledge prototype:
