Inspiration
We were inspired by the product collapsible transport carts, where their simple geometric design allows them to be folded up into small compact sizes, but also able to carry up to 350+ pounds.
What it does
We decided to approach this challenge where we design a foldable litter propelled by four powerful motors ensuring we can get through the roughest terrains on the Moon. The Space EMD will be able to be separated and carried by two astronauts with one carrying around 25 pounds where the other carries around 13lbs. When an emergency occurs were an astronaut is incapacitated, the other "buddy" will take the chassis off and unfold it into a "cart". They will then slot the battery into the drive train and it should be able to run since all the electronics will be in the chassis already.
How we built it
Challenges we ran into
A challenge we ran into is how to distribute the weight between two astronauts where the max weight that one can carry is 25lbs
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I'm proud that we could come up with a product with a group of two with not prior hack experience
What we learned
