The problem
Bond is stuck in the Alps and has located a zip line. He has told us to build a
device that has to go down a zip wire and be released mid-point
Zip wire is 200m wide and the deepest point to the river is 100m
The device should include a buggy, release mechanism, parachute and a
protective jacket
Must have an automatic release as no external signals are possible
Chosen Solution
Project Plan
Things to do:
Week 4:
Week 1: 1) Measure approximate angle of incline
1) Product design of zip wire, and calculate time when
2) Parachute prototype- Kelvin the egg should be released- Corey,
3) Order mini servo Patricia & Kelvin
4) Order solenoid 2) Become familiar with Arduino
programming- Corey, Patricia & Kelvin
Week 2: 3) Work on chassis- Nizam & Umayr
1) Assemble and test prototype 4) Egg jacket prototype- Patricia
2) Wheels- Nizam
3) Make any required amendments
Week 5:
1) Programme Arduino board- Corey,
Week 3:
Patricia, Kelvin
1) Release mechanism- Corey
2) Make any required amendments
2) Final parachute design- Kelvin
3) Assemble and test final design
3) Start chassis- Nizam & Umayr
