Team: Eric's Little Heroes



The team used a scoring system to rate previous designs and then selected the best features to use in theirs.

After making some rough sketches of their design they moved on to 3D modeling using Solid Edge.

Here we see the pedal arms and modified chain drive. The team used all of their non-paper weight in the drive system.

In the rear sprocket assembly an inner tube rotates with the sprocket driving the rear wheels.

Here is the rear wheel assembly. The chain and sprocket are visible.

This is the entire back end. Note that the chain is actually inside the lower tube.

To make the front forks less bulky two outside edges were cut away from the tube and then glued together.

This is the finished product. Although it ran into difficulties on the track the team took first place in project presentation.
