Overview

This rapid-prototyping challenge focused on mechanical linkages and structural constraints. Our team was tasked with designing and fabricating a functional, life-sized, human-powered wooden vehicle within a tight deadline.

Operating under strict material limitations and using basic machine shop equipment, we engineered a reliable mechanical steering linkage and chassis.
