  3. Trailer Workmanship • Use trailer check sheet • Inspect for protected wiring • Lights meet DOT requirements • Inspect spacing between tire and fender • Axle attachment • Weld spatter removal • Painting

  4. Electrical Project Workmanship • Conforms to NEC • Proper Polarity • Adequate wire length for repair • Neat and Organized • Wire to terminal attachment • Proper grounding

  5. Design • Look for evidence that student has thought through the project • Projects should be planned and drawn before • construction begins • Material selection • Practical use vs. cost

  6. Trailer Design • Safety Chains • TxDOT standards (check sheet may be verified) • Protected wires • Fender clearance • Tie downs • Operator convenience

  13. Knowledge: Question Ideas • Specification of material used • Welding information • Distortion control method • Project information sources • Project work sources

  14. Difficulty • Based on size, complexity and scope • Illustrated by a greater amount of skills • Construction difficulty earns more points • Intricate and moving parts earn more points • *Simple projects can be blue ribbon*

  15. Additional Information • All members of a team built project should be able to answer questions • Try to maintain eye contact • Demonstrate project • Student must have the ability to sell themselves and their project • Student should be familiar with doc. check sheet, trailer check sheet, and critique sheet
