Design And Construction Of A Race Team Equipment Box, Daylan D. Coffey

BioResource and Agricultural Engineering

This senior project discusses the design and construction of a race team equipment box. This equipment box was located on the rear of a modified golf cart. The rear half of the golf cart was modified by creating framework around the rear so that the equipment box would rest on top and be able to detach from it. The equipment box was able to hold all necessary equipment that is needed in the pits. Each items location was placed ergonomically so they can be reached with ease in an efficient manner. Located on both sides of the equipment box were …


Design, Fabrication And Manufacturing Analysis Of A Rollover Protection System, Nikolas Paris Dec 2012

Design, Fabrication And Manufacturing Analysis Of A Rollover Protection System, Nikolas Paris

BioResource and Agricultural Engineering

This senior project discusses the design, fabrication and manufacturing analysis of a rollover protection system specifically designed for early body style Ford Broncos (1966-1977). The rollover protection system, or roll cage, is an integral safety feature on vehicles which commonly encounter extreme terrain conditions. Many vehicles which attempt to traverse terrain such as this are not always properly equipped with a rollover protection system. This is the case with the early body style Ford Bronco. This system will be designed to market the niche of early bronco parts.
