3. Design Review
Unique suspension system
Ball and socket pivots with “tendon-like” support connections
Unique frame support
Quick and easy assembly by use of “quick connects”
Soft tires utilize air pockets (open to atmosphere) at outer surface. This allows them to
conform to environment for maximum traction
4. Additive
Frame is intricate, material saving
design.
Only possible via additive
manufacturing
Frame connections will be unique
to the frame and allow quick
simplistic assembly
Suspension system
Simple design allows for quick
production and assembly
Tire design
Incorporated air chambers will
allows tire to deform creating
maximum traction
Not ideal for large loads but
should be ideal for lightweight
design
5. Mechatronics
Ground based navigation
4 wheel drive
4 independent suspension
systems
Air based navigation
modified quad rotor design
one rotor running at constant
speed allows use of all 8 channels
for 4 wheel navigation
