Timeline • Kept us on task
Problem Statement Roadrunner Trucking wants us to build a can crusher that will reduce the volume of their aluminum cans.
Background • Roadrunner Trucking → a lot of aluminum cans • Aluminum cans must be reduced by 70% • $0.05 fine per can
Customers • Mr. Pritchard -ITC instructor • Roadrunner Trucking -company we give product to
Scope Outputs • Can Crusher • Tech Report • Power Point Resources • Internet • Mr. Pritchard- Tech • Miss Hernacki- Math Calculations • Mr. Hund- CAD Drawings
Scope Potential Materials • Wood • PVC • Metal brackets • Metal hinges • Nails and screws
Scope Key Constraints • Max space of 18”×24”×30” • One simple machine • One unit • Manually operated • Bin must hold 20 uncrushed cans
Deliverables • Can Crusher • Tech Report • Power Point presentation
