1.0 Introduction:
This document contains detailed specifications for the construction of the Mars Rover Prototype. Included are a summary of the overall dimensions of the Rover, a bill of
materials, a list of tools required for construction, and a comprehensive construction sequence. Contractors should be able to follow the steps outlined in this document to
accurately produce the Mars Rover Prototype, according to the drawings provided in this design package.
Wheelbase 190
Ground Clearance 20
3
3.0 Materials:
Derived from the drawings and parts list included in the Drawing Package, the Bill of Materials is as follows:
Elastic Bands Securing bottle to Rover Any size can be used, but a 2 (or more) Any newsagent,
stretched circumference of Officeworks, etc.
around 220mm is preferred
4
Wood screws Fixing of elastic bands to bottle Any diameter between 2 3mm, 4 Bunnings
holder length between 10 15mm
Glue (any type suitable for Adhesive used to fix parts together Bunnings,
wooden surfaces, e.g. PVA, - - newsagent,
super glue, etc.) hardware store, etc.
5
4.0 Tools:
4.1 Contractor competency
It is assumed that the successful contractor will have some knowledge of basic hand tools, as well as some power tools such as a cordless drill. The successful contractor will
also be required to use to 3D printing process for some parts.
Steel rule or straight edge Accurate measuring and marking of straight lines All Parts N/A
Engineers square or try square Accurate measuring and marking of right angles Body, bottle holder, N/A
bearing.
Hand saw or hacksaw Used to cut materials by hand, including woods and metals All parts Must be able to cut
a depth of 100mm
6
Screwdriver (to suit screws chosen Tightening appropriate screws for that screwdriver (Phillips Screws in bottle holder N/A
in Bill of Materials) head or flat head)
Spatula or scrap piece of material Spreading glue on parts All glued parts N/A
Electric Drill fitted with hole saw Cutting circular holes in wooden materials Bottle holder, bearing Approx. 75mm
and 6.5mm twist drill bit diameter
7
5.0 Construction:
5.1 Body
From the appropriate material in the Bill of Materials, mark out the required length according to the drawings using the marking tools (pencil/pen, steel
rule/straight edge and try/engineers square).
Cut the body to length using the hand saw or hacksaw, and smooth off any rough edges using sandpaper.
Although the length of the body is not critical, it should be within 1-2mm of the required length.
Mark out from the appropriate sized pine a length that is twice that of one bottle holder (i.e. 100mm) using the marking tools.
Proceed to mark the centre of this area using the marking tools, which is done most accurately by forming an X between opposite corners, revealing the centre at
the intersection.
With caution, proceed to saw out the centre of the marked area using the drill equipped with the hole saw, aligning the centre of the hole saw with the centre
marked.
Cut this piece (which should resemble a square with a large circular hole cut from the centre) from the excess material using the hacksaw, again smoothing off
rough edges with sandpaper.
Proceed to cut this piece exactly in half with the hacksaw, leaving two identical u shaped wooden parts. These should be within millimetre tolerance of each other,
as this is vital to the balancing of the Rover during freefall.
5.3 Bearing
Using the appropriate material and tools, mark and cut out four identical blocks to make the bearings.
Using a similar method as the bottle holder, mark the centre of each of the bearings
Using the 6.5mm twist drill bit in the electric drill, drill one hold through the centre of each of the bearings. Each of the bearings need to be identical, within 0.5mm
tolerance, to ensure free rotation of the axles.
5.4 Axle
From the appropriate sized aluminium, mark and cut two lengths to form the axles.
Clean up the edges of each axle using the coarse file.
8
5.5 Wheel
Following the dimensions in the Drawing Package and suitable software, 3D print 4 wheels using and kind of rigid plastic.
5.6 Spacer
In a similar fashion to the wheels, 3D print 4 spacers from rigid plastic, to the dimensions shown in the drawings.

Research should include the
comparison of shapes (frame
type), materials use (i.e pine
wood, 3D printed) and axles for
the wheels (how many wheels,
type of axle, etc) that can be used
for the Mars Rover Prototype.
Concerns with time management can be mitigated by a GANTT chart. A GANTT chart will break down the design package task into smaller ones that are
allocated across the start (i.e. Mars Rover Prototype drafts should be refined during week 4) until the assessments due date. This will keep the team on
track as it shows the schedule of the project and what needs to be done and when, which then can be discussed during the compulsory weekly meetings.
Although a GANTT chart will significantly decrease the risk of the team failing to complete the design, it is recommended that all members consistently
attend the workshops. Attending the workshops can further mitigate the risk, as supervision will be provided by the tutors. Through the weekly meeting
minutes, they can monitor the progress of the group. Supervision from the tutors will keep the group on track to finish the package in time and up to
standards..

3.0 Construction Stage:
The contractors are responsible to negotiate with the planners to make the design of the Mars Rover Prototype that is with the accordance to the
designers Design Package (assuming that the tendered Design Package is derived from the client brief). Contractors are also expected to make
modifications regarding the designers plan, in order to make the project successful for the testing phase.

Physical injury may be mitigated by requiring the contractors in the Tender Evaluation Criteria (TEC) to have previous experience with such tools. This will
lessen the risk of physical injuries (cuts, laceration, scrapes, incision etc.) due to mishandling of tools from a major to a minor risk.
However, we understand that previous experience would be hard to attain at this stage of our course. The contractors may use safer alternative techniques
that can achieve the same outcome. The contractors can have the wood pre-cut by a professional or use alternative tools which can be negotiated with the
planners during the tendering stage.
This risk may be mitigated by having the planners supervise the contractors during the construction of the product. The planners will make sure which stage
of the construction the contractors should be in and on what time, therefore keeping them on track to finish the project before the due date. Also, creating
a construction plan or a GANTT chart, can be a good alternative/ extra precaution if ever supervision cannot be provided. The GANTT chart will also benefit
the team as they can allocate the task in a way where they can have time for modification and/or last minute adjustments. Consistent attendance of all
members at the workshop will further mitigate the risk of the contractors missing the due date, as additional supervision and advice on how to keep the
prototypes standard high will be provided.
The planners can supervise the contractors as they construct the project. This way they can assist if ever there are terminologies the contractors might not
be familiar with. Including a quiz during the tender stage about the specification of the design will help the designers to choose which contractors are able
to comprehend the instructions in the specification.

4.0 Testing Stage:
It is the designers responsibility to bring the Mars Rover Prototype to the testing on May 22, 2017. The prototype will be tested in accordance to the client
constraints as well as its ability to overcome and/or meet the slope and vertical drop test requirements.
Figure 3 Testing Stage Risk Management shows the summary and the severity of the risks involved during the testing stage.
This risk can be mitigated by handling the prototype with care and avoid placing it on places where it might be obstructed from a persons vision. Proper
placement and handling will make the risk of pre-testing damage unlikely to happen. To take it one step further, since Sea-Seven-Po1nt-4our design is just
slightly bigger than the water bottle, having a bag to carry the prototype is practical as it will assist with proper handling, which will make the pre-testing
damage risk 0.
This event can be avoided by having a checklist of what to bring during the testing stage. This will make the residual risk of leaving the prototype behind,
including other paper work, 0. Therefore, no more further mitigation is needed.

2.1 RELEVANT EXPERIENCE (Max. 3 marks)
It is desirable for the tenderer to have relevant experience that could benefit achieving the
intended outcome of the project. Relevant experience includes, but is not limited to,
experience in woodworking, using a handsaw and 3D printing.
Information required could be displayed in a list that provides:
Description of experience
o Includes how long ago the experience was
o What experience was
o Why experience is relevant
o Example: Completed Year 12 woodwork in 2016. This is relevant because
the body of the prototype is made from wood, hence my experience will be
useful in the making of the body.
If tenderer has experience with a project similar to this, details of the project
including:
Role of tenderer
Duration of project
Description and relevance to this project
How the tenderer is planning to achieve desired outcome. Tenderer must be able to show
its ability to bring a contract to an acceptable conclusion by describing the procedure that
the tenderer wishes to take to accomplish projects desired outcome. This must include a
detailed timeline that the tenderer plans to use with achievable deadlines and goals clearly
stated on it.
Information required could include the following:
Key performance indicators
Goals indicating when contractors aim to have certain objectives completed
Delegation of work with contractors
Innovative procedures meaning to be used

2.3 KNOWLEDGE (Max. 3 marks):
Tenderer must be able to demonstrate that they understand instructions given to make the
prototype and offer relevant improvements. This will be evaluated according to the
weightings in table 2.3 by the designers during the first meeting.
Tenderer should demonstrate an understanding about hazards and risks involved with this
task and prove they know what to do should a risk arise. Information on this can be found
on the risk management plan documents. The tenderer will be given a risk and asked what
mitigation they would employ to reduce the risk which will be assessed along with their
understanding of hazards and risks according to the weighings in table 2.4 during the first
meeting with designers.
