 5.0 Specialist construction Techniques

5.1 Precision Drilling

It is a skill in which someone needs to precisely drill on the point marked in order to
create a hole with a specific diameter. The point which needs to be drill must be mark
correctly and the hand of the one doing the drilling must be stabilized in order to create a
hole of precise diameter and depth in accordance with the specifications.
5.2 Sawing Skills
The person doing the sawing needs to have a steady hand in order to saw the piece of
wood into the right size needed for the base. First, the part where the wood needs to be
saw have to be mark and then the wood needs to be place on a flat surface in order for
the wood to be cut precisely and according the specifics
5.3 Perspex Cutter
The CD case needs to be mark before cutting it to ensure a straight cut. Place the
Perspex on a flat surface before cutting it.
5.4 Sandpaper

Use an equal amount of force when using the sandpaper to smooth out the surface of
the base. Sand all sections of the piece evenly by sanding in the direction of the grain.

5.5 Screwing skills

Screw in the screw into the holes made, and make sure that the screw is tight to avoid
failure of construction later on.

6.0 Construction Sequence

6.1 Base Preparation

1. Prepare a base of size 300x160mm with a thickness of 0.7-10mm
2. If needed, saw the wood to the specified size by using sawing skills.
3. Smooth out the surface of the base by using sandpaper
6.2 Hook Installation
1. Measure 40mm from both side of the edge of the front of the base
2. Measure the height of the base and search for its midpoint
3. Both of this measurements are to ensure that the directional forward straight
movement of the mousetrap car would not be hinder so much
4. When the measurements are done, screw the hook in the midpoints by either using
your bare hands if possible or drill the points first before you screw in the hook.
5. Do the same procedures on the back of the base.

12 | P a g e
 Figure 6.2.1 Front-view of the Hook installation Process

6.3 Wheels and axles

1. For the wheels, start with a regular CD of diameter 120mm.
2. Cut out a cardboard box piece into a rectangle shape enough to cover the hole located
in the center of the CD.
3. By using tape, tape the sides of the rectangle onto the CD
4. To ensure grip and frictional force on the CD to avoid deviation in its straight
movement you can either use tape to cover the edge of the CD or use balloons
5. If balloons are used, cut the neck of the balloons and stretch it all around the edge of
the CD.
6. Use the chopstick and pierce through the center of the now covered CD.
7. Repeat these steps with the three other CDs.
8. After all of the CDs are attached to the axle (Chopsticks)
9. Place it on the hook and clamp the hook close.
10. If the axle rattles so much when you try to test the mousetrap car. Use tops (from
canned drinks) or washer to stop it from rattling so much.
11. If the chopsticks fail to do its job, the designer will provide alternatives by either
using the pen tube or an aluminum/iron rod depending on the necessities. Specifics on
this will be provided only if the chopsticks fail.

6.4 The mousetrap

1. Attach the mousetrap onto the base by using hot glue
2. If hot glue does not work drill onto the four corners of the mousetrap and screw in
some screw onto the four corners and keep them in place by using washer.
3. Use a stick of length 200mm and attach it onto the mousetrap hand.
4. Tie a fishing line at the end of the stick.
5. If the fishing line does not produce enough force for the mousetrap use a rubber band
instead.

6.5 Safety Case
1. Use a clear water bottle and cut approximately 3cm from its base
2. Attach the water bottle onto the base by using hot glue
3. For the side guard cut the CD case with a Perspex cutter with 80mm in length and
60mm in height. For further details look at figure 6.5.3.
4. For the front guard cut the CD case with a Perspex cutter with 75mm in length and
60mm in height. See figure 6.5.2 for further rectification of the front guard assembly.
5. Attach both of the guards by using hot glue and attach it to the base with the same
substance
6. If hot glue is not available, super glue can also be used.

2. HAZARD AND RISK IDENTIFICATIONS

28 | P a g e
 Introduction

The overall purpose with the hazard and risk identification is to quantify the effects of
the identified risks. The choice of hazard and risk identification technique will depend on
the identified risk characteristics. The risk matrix technique is one of the most used
qualitative methods and is often used which exclusively to perform a hazard and risk
identification. The identification is performed by plotting the identified riskís estimated
value for probability and consequence in a matrix which have predetermined scales. The
risk matrix will thereafter indicate the level of risk exposure as shown in Table 1 below.
