The engineering design constrains:

Setup area of the system : 1.5m x 3m

The height of the assembled system must be less than 30 inches (76.2cm)
Design Specifications:
 
System must be powered by a battery or batteries.
Device may only fold or cut the paper- no additional material can be added to the sheet of paper
after it has been launched.
System must be designed such that the paper is manually loaded one sheet at a time, after the prior
sheet has been launched.
The volume of the system will be measured based on the size of the rectangular box.
Scoring is based on the following equation:

 Functions of General Design
•Specifically designed to meet requirements set by the ASME
•Should be able to cut out the 9 circle-shaped extrusions found on the base and press plates
•Should then fold the cut out piece of paper in half by using a knife to push the paper between
two rollers which are side by side
•Using an offset shaft, our design allows for cutting/folding to happen practically simultaneously
•Once folded in half, the next function of the design (2nd subsystem) is to form the final shape of
the projectile
•Should be able to launch the final projectile a considerable distance
