Drill Powered Vehicle
The Junior level component design class was given the option to choose from three races to center our design around: maneuverability, endurance, and hill climb.
Our design was focused on the endurance race as it had the most competition. We were allowed to use parts from one half (front fork and suspension or rear triangle and gear set) to augment our designs.
The entire frame, rear assembly, drill plate, and rigging was created in house by our team.
We were esponsible for full cad mock ups before a single tool was touched.
We presented a full, one hour, design review to a board of engineers, professors, and on-site manufacturing techs employed by the school. They iterated on our designs.
The Endurance competition consisted of counting the number of laps completed on a set track complete with rolling hills, bridges, and pedestrian traffic.
