Problem Statment

Design a cart that is safe, resilient, low-cost, low-weight, and user-friendly. The cart will be resilient by being strong and durable that can perform in multiple environments, extreme temperatures, absorbs impact and safely clears the ground. It will be user friendly by having free spinning wheels and will have a safe and efficient way to slow down and stop the cart. It will be light weight enough to be easily lifted, transported and collapsible. It will be safe enough for the riders, the dogs, and the bystanders. It will be single operant and be able to hold 2 average-weight people while being able to travel at speeds up to 30 mph.

First Meeting of the 2nd Semester

The team met to discuss future plans on the mushing cart's construction as well as revisited the work that was done before the summer. With each individual teammate having a different schedule during the summer, a lot of scheduled items were pushed back. Therefore the team brought up topics that needed to be completed in order to get the building process in motion.

The team decided focus on the items that need to be purchased. A few items that will be purchased are:

  • Wheels & Tires*


  • Disc Brakes*

  • Shock Absorbers*


*Items pictured may not be used in the final product.
