Today 18 students in ENGR 113 demonstrated their semester design project. The project was to make a self-propelled vehicle that would make it at least 9 feet of a 15 foot curved track. The teams had alpha and beta test runs on the track that helped them redesign the vehicle for this last run.
In first place Team “Lucky 7-3” made it 18 feet to the end of the track using tracks instead of wheels. Their innovation and continual redesigns paid off.
In second place Team “Scorporation” went 13.3 feet. This team had a great overall design, but the weight on the back gave them issues going up the last big hill.
In third place Team “Convex Machinery” went 6.9 feet. This car was so fast it jumped off the track. It also had great attention to detail. One of their team members vacuum formed a model car and panted the body.
The other teams did a great job. They continually worked as cohesive groups this semester and made great designs. Their cars needed more torque to make it up the hills, but their designs were good.
It is great to see students learning hands-on the design process. The issues they face now make them better at problem solving and being real engineers in the future.
