SCience and engineering CONCEPTS
What we need to know- To make our product we need to know what material to use, so we need to research different aspects of materials like durability, longevity, and how much it rusts. Depending on the material we also need to know what to cover/paint it with. After knowing the material, we either need to learn how to weld (which I do) or get someone to weld it for us. We also need to decide on what wheels to use, and learn how to attach them. Then, if we decide to make the stand, we need to think of a attaching mechanism to keep the tray in place on the stand.
anticipated COURSE of action
Constructing
1. Find Materials
2. Measure and cut materials
3. Weld Materials
4. Put wheels on
5. Paint Materials (if needed)
6. Make stand (if time allows)
Testing
It must,
1. Roll Easily
2. Be comfortable to use
3. hold tools well
4. Fit under a car easily
5. If it holds up well during use
Data Gathering
Test our prototype, and mark if it does each one successfully

advisor
We decided to contact Mr. Stevens to be our main adviser because of his wide variety of skills, including welding. Mr. Stevens also introduced us to Mr. Timmons, an auto mechanic, who will also be helping as an adviser.
software, technology, equipment
Software-
We do not need any software other then 3d sketching software if we would like to see a 3d model
Equipment-
The equipment we need is a welder, something to cut it with (plasma cutter or saw) and a drill to drill holes to attach the wheels.
