In this lab two tasks were completed. Since the Park requires that one of the designs needs to be a monorail the monorail design given as a prototype used in Lab 1 and Lab 2 was used again to continue the practice of coding the cart and getting more familiar with how the monorail moves at certain speeds and power. Then the second part of the lab is the majority of the vital work in moving forward with the project.
A Concept Screening Sheet and Concept Scoring Matrix was created to compared and score the three designs made in Lab 1. First a list of criteria was made to judge the three designs the list consisted of difficulty to build, software complexity, cost, environment impact, and appearance. In the first chart is the Concept Screening Sheet the is a process that uses -1, 0, and 1 to score with -1 being not good 0 being equal to the reference and 1 being good. The full chart is shown below. The second chart used was Concept Scoring sheet which is calculated using a weighted score for each criteria. Then each design was given a score of 1-5 then calculated a final weighted score. After the completion of both charts the monorail scored the highest to create both times.
