Egg Mover - Design ideas!?
We've been assigned a design project and I'm just looking for some thoughts, comments, opinions and ideas. I'd like to get few different perspectives on the design problem.
I've attached a picture that depicts what the system looks like.
Design, build and demonstrate a device that will pick up, move and place an egg. To start the test, the egg will be placed on a spot 2.4m from a 2 by 6 that is on edge. Your device is to pick up the egg and move the egg over the 2 by 6 placing it (unbroken) on a spot 2.4m on the other side of the 2 by 6.
2. Contraints
1. Your device cannot be within 20mm of the egg at the beginning of the test
2. No trained pets or other biological assistants are allowed.
3. Nothing may be touching the 2 by 6. (You may have a ramp but it can't rest on the 2 by 6)
4. You can interact with your device only once to START the device and only ONE person can interact.
5. You may not use electricity, fire, smoke, or internal combustion engines.
6. The egg must pass over the 2 by 6, not around it.
7. Upon completion of the demonstration, the egg must be left on the target, free of any constraint that might prevent it from moving (nothing can be touching the egg or the target)
8. No part of your device can be within 20mm of the egg or target (bucket) at the end of the test.
Again, I'm not looking for ANSWERS, just ideas. Usually discussing these types of things with others offers a better perspective on things.
