The team set limits for components in order to prepare for narrowing the options of components in an attempt to finalize the design. Below is what the team established:
=
where,
- Tires
- Length of frame
- Double barrel lever disk brakes
- Height of frame
- Steering
- Suspension
- Digger brake
- Hitch
The Decisions that were made were made the week of the (3/18/13) were:
- Tires
- Buy
- Size: 12-16 inches (in diameter)
- Frame (length & height)
- Build frame
- 6ft. x 3.5ft. x 3ft.(L x W x H) in approximation
- Brakes
- Buy
- Double barrel lever (disk brakes)
- On all four wheels
- Steering
- Make handlebars
- Buy handlebar grips
- Front steering
- Suspension
- Buying
- Front suspension
- Digger Brake
- Make
- Hitch
- Make
- Hook to carabiner
With certain areas of the design still in a grey area, the team will work together to fully complete the design by establishing how the suspension will work together with the steering. The steering will also be looking into, currently the idea is to create a four-bar linkage that connect from the back to the front, in order to steer from the back. Finally the team will also finalize whether the cart will have both front and back suspension or just front suspension.
