Final Presentationof the Folding Three-Wheeler May 17, 2007
Recap • Remember our pink wheelchair? • Lots of feedback after last presentation • Looks significantly heavier • Trying to be too ambitious • PCV allowed easier sliding than steel would • Concerns about denting • Thumbscrews easy to lose
New Thoughts • Refocused on most critical module, the third wheel • Considered all of our original ideas for this mechanism • Narrowed to top three: simple removal, sliding, and folding
Manufacturing • Unfortunately we weren’t able to manufacture anything by today • We have all our materials and will have our finished product next week
