Our initial project for this semester is to build Dan a raft cart. For this raft cart project, we were assigned to build a cart to transport an inflatable raft. This raft is used on the Alaskan shore, so seawater will be present. This constraint, limits the building materials we can choose from due to corrosion factors. The cart is being built for our new teacher Dan. One of his needs is that he wants it to be light enough so that his wife could also be able to use it. The main objective for the cart is to transport the raft from his cabin to the shoreline, over rocks and other rough terrain. Our design was built around these constraints. We used ProE to model our initial design for the first design review. For me, getting used to ProE again was a little work. I had not used the program extensively since my first semester of freshman year at ICC. I was amazed at the commands and controls I remembered after only a short amount of time. By the end of the day I had built multiple parts for the cart. In one day, the group modeled a complete cart, a raft, and two handle attachments. We will meet Dan later today to recieve feedback on our initial design.
