Concept 3D Model
DODGEBALL SKETCH DESIGN
Chariot built to compete in a dodgeball tournament.
-
Constructed entirely of paper and foam products.
-
Able to withstand weight of over 250 pounds.
-
Total weight of 8 pounds.
-
Designed to be either pushed or pulled.
Results
-
The sketch model challenge did not go as the team intended it to. The chariot did not last through the dodge ball game.
-
The requirements of supporting a
265lb person and being ready for all various Chicago weather
were not met.
-
Although the sketch model challenge did not go as planned,
The most important lesson learned was that analysis is key when working with lightweight structural materials.
