Concept Screening and Scoring

Criteria:

Stability:  Overall balance of AEV

Minimal Blockage:  Amount of blockage causing wind resistance and drag

Maintenance:  Minimal amount of materials used to run

Durability:  Strength and ability to pull the carts

Safety:  Low chance of falling off track or not completing the run

Design 1: Brandon Price – more balanced and lightweight than the Sample AEV

Design 2: Madison Graham – more lightweight and aerodynamic than the Sample AEV

Design 3: Latia Tanner – more stable, and durable than the Sample AEV

Design 4: Jared Yoder – more durable and lightweight than the Sample AEV

Group Design: Combination of design ideas – more lightweight, balanced, aerodynamic, and safe than the Sample AEV
