The team has completed the final prototype, seen below, and the evaluation of testing the final prototype seen here: Final Prototype Evaluation-1c4158l.

The team finished up their prototype design! In the morning Chase and Emily soldered the actuators and battery together. In the afternoon Emily, Megan and Kyle completed attaching the actuators to the wheelchair and constructing a battery holder. Afterwards Megan put together an assembly instruction sheet for the team’s evaluation available under the Final Prototype Tab. Evaluations will be carried out over the next few days.

Again the team utilized the prototype lab in Bolz to construct their wheelchair. The team attached the brackets to the wood pieces constructed last week. During construction the team was aware of the direction  of the actuators movement and was careful to avoid interference.

The team spent their class period today in the prototype lab in Bolz. The lab has been very useful to the team throughout this process. Today the team focused on cutting and shaping the wood pieces required for the prototype. The team ensured that the pieces were sanded to prevent splinters and was careful to avoid splitting the wood.
