Design Brief

Client Company:

Dr. Pepper

Designers:

Quinn Ebaugh, Liam Deck, Patrick Mumford

Problem Statement:

Design a compound machine (combining three simple

machines) that can move an ordinary (Dr. Pepper) soda
can 2ft.

Design Statement:

We will use a wheeled vehicle (wheel and axle) to hold the

can. The vehicle will then be attached to a pully system
which is in turn powered by two gears.

Constraints:

We can only use parts found in the VEX parts kit(s)

At least three simple machines must be combined

to make a compound machine.

The vehicle must be able to move the can without the

can falling out of the vehicle.
