SPRING POWERED CART
GROUP PROJECT
1ST YEAR
I designed and built a spring powered cart that can carry a 1 kilo block and run a 3m rubber track as fast as possible.
The cart's body was 3D printed. To assemble it, I used turning for the axle and milling to ensure the weight's fit.
CAD model created using SOLIDWORKS
Some changes for a future project would be to make the weight placement adjustable, allowing easier trial and error of weight distribution. Also, make the spool, where the string is attached, smaller to increase wheel rotation and speed.
