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.

Moving forward
This week was very informative as we conducted analysis on our spindle/axel set up. Further test will be done to confirm our results.
As we move forward, completion of the rear wheel assembly is needed in order to finish welding the base of our frame.
Below is an image of a new bracket needed to complete this design.
