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.

Welding Setback

This week, the team was set back on welding due to design. A few of the cart's components must be redesigned in order to continue welding:
  • spindle
  • suspension arms (possibly)
  • reinforcement of front wheel (new design)
To-do:
Finalize design for mentioned components and run through our machinists (Mike and Joe) in order to proceed with welding.
