Analysis
Critical Analysis:
- Center of mass of car – modified by changing the position of the movable weight
- Moment balance – used to calculate the angle at which the car will flip (when COM moves behind back wheel contact)

DETAILED DESIGN Wheel – designed to be large
enough so that no parts of the
car hit the ground when flipping;
Mass Block – movable block of rigidly fixed to the wood body
steel to effectively move the (i.e. does not rotate) so we can
center of mass isolate flipping (exclude slipping
and rolling effects)

SUMMARY
TIME BUDGET
- General trend in data measured
matches expected values
- Angle to tilt is significantly higher once Category Time [hours]
the car has flipped because the center Design (Individual + Peer Review + Final) 2
of mass is now lower CAD 1.5
- Possible sources of error: Analysis 1.5
- Mass estimates inaccurate due to Fabrication + Assembly 7*

removed material (holes cut out) Total 15
or added material (fasteners)
- Some slipping of wheels
