1. Engineering DesignCentral Concepts: Engineering design involves practical problem solving, research, development, and invention/innovation, and requires designing, drawing, building, testing, and redesigning. Students should demonstrate the ability to use the engineering design process to solve a problem or meet a challenge.
Ma.Science and Engineering Framework 2006
1.1 Identify and explain the steps of the engineering design process: identify the problem, research the problem, develop possible solutions, select the best possible solution(s), construct prototypes and/or models, test and evaluate, communicate the solutions, and redesign.

Identify the problem
Identify the problem in need of a solution.
The Problem is that we need to makeA bot to win in a sumo match
Ma.Science and Engineering Framework 2006
Research the problem
Examine the current state of the issues and current solutions.Student: We were assigned to solve the problem of making a bot that can push another bot out of an arena to win.

Develop solutions
Brainstorm
Student: A bot that can push others out, or a bot that can flip another bot
Select the best Possible solution(s)
Student: We decided to merge them together in order to get the maximum performance

Construct a prototype
Student: We built out prototype without much of a frame andWe needed a lot of improvement.

Test and Evaluatethe solution(s)
Does it work?Does it meet the original design constraints?Can it be manufactured?Is it safe?What happens to the products when its useful life is finished?

Use GoAnimate.com to respond to the questions
Communicate the solution(s)
The Solution we found helped our bot by giving it a frame soThe bot can now support other bots trying to flip us over, whileFlipping over the other bots at the same time

Publish your GoAnimate video!
Communicate the solution(s)Part two
The Social Impact of this solution is that there is now a small Bot that can win in a sumo match
Ma.Science and Engineering Framework 2006
Communicate the solution(s)Part three
We worked very hard on our bot over all. With several timesOf measuring the angles and making sure things have a Back up route, we had to make several changes to get thePerfect result.

Redesign
Overhaul the solution(s) based on information gatheredduring testing and self-assessment activity.
