Materials
350 in^2 of sheet metal
ADDITIONAL documentation
We made a model out of cardboard so we can physically see the size and what will fit in it. This does not include wheels, just the top tray.
building procedures and pricing
Building Procedure
We bought one inch flat bars, 4 casters, and used extra sheet metal that was in the shop to create our tray. It took 2 days for us to build our prototype. We began by cutting the flat bar into each of the lengths that we needed to create the walls of the tray. Next we used a plasma cutter to cut out what would be the bottom of the tray out of the sheet metal. Next we set all the one inch flat bar in place and tac welded them, to hold them in place. We then welded about 3inch strip welds to hold it more while keeping the temperature down. Then we tac welded the wheels on.
Special thanks to Mr. Stephens and Caleb Bourne who guided us while creating our prototype
