  1. RED Rover A following, motorized trolley platform YellowB

  2. Why? • 25% of men over 65 experience lower back pain1 • 35% of women over 65 experience lower back pain1 • 30 million households in America whose head is older than 602 • 2.7 billion dollar industry for non-riding lawn, garden, and snow equipment3

  3. Accuracy Error Cloud (±1% of Range) Minimum direction finding distance: 15” Sensitivity: -6dB at 15° Range: 6” to 35ft Three ultrasonic range finders with 8” baseline

  4. Lessons Learned • Cargo slides around • Must prevent outdoor elements from encumbering the drive train • Wheels need to be kept on the ground • 7” tires are okay but larger types should be a bit better on soft terrain • Following distance should hinder rover running into heels
