Abstract

One paragraph summary of your project from background to discussion and next steps.

There should be an image near the top.

Background

HSU's Spring 2016 Engineering 215, Introduction to Design, was commissioned by Zane Middle School to design and implement a table for the battling of EV3 Lego Mindstorm sumo robots. This table will drastically reduce the time and complexity required to setup an EV3 regulation competition table. Hopefully the ability to draw tracks and vary incline will make for an interesting change to the robotic battles fought between angry middle-schoolers.

Problem statement and criteria

Criteria Weight Rational
Safety 10 As this project is designed to be used by young children we thought it essential that it abide by the highest safety constraints we could design.
Durability 9 As this project is designed to be used by young children we thought it essential that it be as durable as physically possible as long as we didn't sacrifice safety for durability.
Portability 8 As this project needs to be able to move classroom to classroom and on occasion school to school, it was essential to the client that it be as portable as possible.
Ingenuity 7 Since this project was to be used by kids and it should be designed to be thought provoking, in order to help provide education (since this is and educational setting).
Cost 6 Since all of our funding is self generated it would be ideal if we could minimize cost without sacrificing quality in materials. Ideally this is incentive to use renewable or up-cycled sources.
Aesthetic 4 Since this project is in all essence a fancy table, we didn't consider appearance of primary concern or importance.
