This was a group project undertaken during my final year and semester at BCIT in the TTED program. The project was called “Vehicle in a Box” due to its requirement of having to fit in a small box when deconstructed or “The 100 Hour Project” defining the amount of class time given to complete the project. Our challenge at the onset of the project was to build an electrical vehicle that could build a small foot bridge out of 4″x4″ and 2″x6″ sections of wood, then drive over that very same bridge. Our group designed a rear wheel drive, aluminum welded chassis, with skid steering, and a winch/claw like mechanism to manipulate the wooden beams. Our vehicle features a wide range of materials including, wood, aluminum, steel, and fibreglass. The project was a great success.
