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.

Top Frame Of Cart On The Design Table



The team brainstormed a lot about the top of the frame. Things concerning the top frame that were discussed were:
  • collapsible vs. detachable
  • drill patterns
  • overall design. 

To-do in the coming week.

  • Talk to our school machinist (Mike and Joe) about a machining plan and where to buy material. 
  • New bearings needed for the wheels and the top of the frame.
