Re: Help with Senior Design Project

When designing this project, spend a fair bit of time understanding the task requirements. For example;
- How high a step does your user need to get over? Is it a 5" curb or an 8" tree?
- What about weight and size limitations?

I remember seeing a video on CD about a team with a wheel made out of 3 smaller wheels. Might that "climb" over a small tree?

Will your wheel chair be powered? If so, would tank treads be an option?
They are used on tanks and backhoes to go over rough terrain and not bog down.

With rough terrain, its critical to keep the users center of gravity low to prevent getting launched out of the chair.

Let us know if you need a cRIO. I think we have a few.
Dave
