Design Brief

1. Urban freight distribution

   • collected, transported, and distributed
     • can include seaports, airports, manufacturing facilities,
     • 3.9 billion people (54%) of the world's population lives in urban areas
   • electrically powered
     • Benefit
       • very easy to distribute and transport
     • Disadvantage
       • non-renewable
   • Furbot Project
     • The EU-funded the project
       • electric urban freight vehicle
         • energy efficiency, mobility dexterity, safety,
     • will help urban freight distribution

2. four wheeled

   • single seat
   • land vehicle
     • cars/trucks

3. forward propulsion unit

   • process of pushing or pulling to drive an object forward.
   • Gears
     • worm wheel
     • basic gears
     • spur gear
     • helical gear
     • spiral bevel gear
     • rack and pinion
     • worm gear

4. rules

   • Electric power does not exceed 9 volts
   • All main operating features are clearly visible without dismantling
   • The longest dimension of the vehicle does not exceed 400 mm
   • a robotic handling device must been designed and positioned
   • Modified toys or recycled projects are not acceptable.
