1.0 Introduction
This official paper is the tender submission for the Mars Rover project by EMPACT. This document
is made in accordance to Tender Evaluation Criteria on made by NEBULA EXPLORATIONS.
Body frame the body frame is divided into two parts (top and bottom).
Wheels
A protection layer for the wheels sponges used as cushions to protect the car upon landing.
The axle for the car cardboards are used to make the frame.
Straps used to hold the water bottle in place.
Cushioning for the water bottle Sponges are also used to make the layer.
Compartment for the water bottle.
There should be a layer of sponge that acts as a cushion and protects the container from impact.
The material for the axle is cardboard. Cylindrical canisters are used wheels, as they have a high width
they provide more stability. And on straps are used on top of the top frame of the car to make sure that
the object which is being carried by the car is not displaced.
The pricing of the car must be below or equal to 30RM and the total cost of the car is 22.2Rm. Thus, the
design of the car is in accordance with the requirements in the client brief.
Page | 3
2.4 Concerns and improvements
Elicturus has mainly three issues with the design.
The distance between the straps is not mentioned and also the distance from the start of the longest
side of the car till the straps is unspecified.
The distance between the base of the car and the ground.
Skewers are used for connecting the wheels and skewers are malleable in nature.
The absence of these measurements might lead to complications in the future and might result into a
product that is not up to the standards. A possible solution would be to rethink the design with these
measurements in mind. Skewers are usually long and thin in nature and thus there is a possibility of it
getting damaged during the testing phase. Adding extra protection around the axels such as more
cushioning might lead to an improvement in the axles.
3.0 Criteria
Please note that, everything in this section that is in italics is derived from or referred from the
design package which is in Appendix E. They are the criteria specified in the Tender Evaluation Criteria
of the design package and the response to it is written in normal text.
3.1 Punctuality
The contractor must contact the designers promptly, attend all the meetings on time, and should
never be late to the construction site, as it risks jeopardizing the entire project. The punctuality of the
each individual contractor will be based on their minutes of meeting, as well as consultation with his
colleagues.
We, at Elicturus recognizes that one of the key features of a successful team work is punctuality
and provide great importance to it. Thus, our team members are always on time. This can be proven by
the minutes of meeting, which is in Appendix A.1. Also, there is a written letter in Appendix A.2 from the
designing company acknowledging that SAAD MAHMUD, one of our contractor was on time for the
meeting held on 07/04/2017.
3.2 Commitment
The contractors must be willing to do the work that is assigned to him, and consistently finish his
work. The WPRs will be examined to judge how committed the client is to his work
Everyone in our team is highly committed to their assigned work. The Weekly progress Reports
of our company displays the dedication of our team towards completing their objective. The weekly
progress reports are attached in Appendix B.1.
Page | 4
3.3 Communication
The person must be able to communicate and express his/her ideas to the team effectively, and
at the same time be able to understand simple instructions. The client will be judged based on any
written work.
We know communication is crucial for a successful project. Thus, we try to convey our
suggestions or views as efficiently as possible. The emails in Appendix C.1 shows that suggestions for
amendments of design package was sent to the designing company.
3.4 Intellect
The Desig ers prefere e of I telle t is u dersta di g the te h i al aspe t of the Desig
Package. Intellect will be measured through varieties of method; ITP Personality Test, Contractor and
Designer Meetings (The analysis of intellect will be conducted using a holistic approach where the
Designers will judge through a series of questions and communications during meetings. Minutes of
Meetings will be required as proof.) and grades of any three subjects within year 10-12, most preferably
scientific and mathematics subjects.
All the members of Elicturus are possess a good understanding of their respective work. The
academic certificates are included in the Appendix D.2 which provides a good understanding of their
knowledge. The personality test is also included in Appendix D.1 as required by the design package of
group 5E.
3.5 Self-discipline
Self Discipline will be judged based on the ability of the Contractors ti e of respo se of
messages, e-mails and meetings. (History of communication sent back and fro will be logged and used as
evidence). ITP Personality + Team test is also required and will be used to assess Self-Discipline.
Our contractors are immensely disciplined , which can be proven by the personality test included
in Appendix D.1 as well as the team test which is added in Appendix D.3. Communication history between
the contractor of group 1E and designer of Group 5E is also included in Appendix C.1, which provides
further evidence of self-discipline.

Extraversion
Activity Level
Assertiveness
Cheerfulness
Excitement-Seeking
Friendliness
Gregariousness
Activity Level: You likely find yourself alternating between managing multiple activities at once and finding time to take it
easy and relax. Continue to avoid the stress of always being on the go while considering ways you can best utilize your energy
to contribute to the team tasks.
Assertiveness: You sometimes like to take the lead in a group setting, but are also comfortable allowing others to take charge
in a team. Be aware of times when you should speak your mind or take the lead but also be mindful of situations where you
should take a step back and let others contribute.
Cheerfulness: You tend to be joyful and optimistic, but also know when to be serious about accomplishing the team's work.
Continue to adapt your behavior to best suit the situation, whether that means sharing a laugh with friends or focusing on the
task.
Page | 17
Excitement-Seeking: You enjoy your fair share of excitement but within reason. Take advantage of your flexibility to help
your team succeed at every stage of your project, from the routine, low-risk work to the more exciting, conceptual stages of
teamwork and direction setting.
Friendliness: You are fairly comfortable meeting most new people but there are times you may prefer to focus on the task
rather than building friendships. Be mindful of the times you can enjoy your ability to connect with others and when you should
focus on the team task at hand.
Gregariousness: You can work alone or in a group, and can likely to succeed in either situation. Remember that others may
not be as flexible, be prepared to help your teammates adapt to environments that are less preferable to them.
Page | 18
EMOTIONALITY
Emotionality
Anxiety
Frustration
Immoderation
Melancholic
Self Consciousness
Vulnerability
Anxiety: You may experience some worries or stress when thinking about your tasks or a team project, but you tend not to let
yourself be overwhelmed by these thoughts. Capitalize on your ability to anticipate challenges without getting caught up in
problems that may never happen.
Frustration: You do not easily lose your temper and are able to avoid most team conflict. Capitalize on your ability to stay
calm, but be careful not to appear unengaged or indifferent by avoiding all disagreements. Instead, focus on engaging in
task-focused discussions and debate.
Immoderation: You tend to be able to stay on task, but also are ready to join in spontaneous team discussion to help
generate ideas and solutions. Capitalize on your ability to stay focused to help the team succeed, but do not be afraid to join in
on spontaneous or tangent conversations that can lead to innovation.
Page | 19
Melancholic: You tend to feel happy and content with yourself and abilities, but sometimes may be critical of yourself. Turn
your self-criticism into constructive areas for of self-improvement and reflect on recent accomplishments and past
achievements to maintain your self-confidence.
Self-Consciousness: Although you often feel confident interacting with your team, you may sometimes feel uncomfortable
sharing your ideas. Remember that constructive comments about your idea are not a personal attack. If you are self-conscious
about speaking up, consider what the team might miss by not sharing your perspective.
Vulnerability: You tend to be confident managing the pressure of multiple tasks but can sometimes feel overwhelmed. Keep
open lines of communication with your team when you are feeling stressed and need help on a task. When you are managing
your stress well, offer up help to others that may be struggling.
Page | 20
CONSCIENTIOUS
Conscientiousness
Achievement-Striving
Cautiousness
Dependability
Orderliness
Self-Efficacy
Self-Discipline
Achievement-Striving: You tend to do what is expected of you and put in extra time when it suits you. Be mindful of team
members who are not putting in as much effort and those that are putting in more than they should. Set clear guidelines of the
amount and quality of work of each team member so everyone contributes equally.
Cautiousness: You are reasonably cautious and consider both sides of a decision before taking action. Help your team take
calculated risks while also ensuring adequate time is given to discuss decisions where the risks could outweigh the benefits.
Dependability: For the most part, others can depend on you to follow through on your obligations. When something gets in
the way of you completing your task or responsibility, try to give your team members notice so you do not let the team down.
Page | 21
Orderliness: You tend to work in a fairly tidy space but you are not distracted or bothered if a mess starts to build up. Be open
to team members who may prefer a different style of work, whether that is clean and tidy or in disarray and chaos.
Self-Efficacy: You may find yourself doubting your ability to get the job done. You should inform your team members of your
strengths when the group is assigning tasks in order to exploit your skillset, but be willing to push yourself to learn and try new
things to build on your current knowledge.
Self-Discipline: You often have little trouble carrying out your plans but may sometimes waste time procrastinating. To
ensure you execute your tasks without wasting time, make a task list for each working hour of the day and stick to it.

AGREEABLENESS
Agreeableness
Altruism
Cooperation
Modesty
Morality
Sympathy
Trust
Altruism: You seem to find a balance between attending to your own needs and emotions, and considering the opinions and
feelings of others. Maintain your ability to stay focused on your own responsibilities while being mindful and prepared to step
in to assist other team members if needed.
Cooperation: You do not actively seek out confrontation but you also do not shy away from it. Promote harmony and healthy
debate in your team by encouraging less cooperative individuals to stay on task with their arguments and highly cooperative
individuals to stand up for their opinions or constructively analyze others ideas.
Modesty: You tend to be humble and reserved and rarely think highly of yourself or your accomplishments. Team members
may appreciate your modest approach of staying out of the spotlight but do not let more entitled team members take credit
for your accomplishments.
Page | 23
Morality: You tend to be genuine and follow the rules most of the time. When working in a team, remember that you are
working towards a shared goal and try not to take advantage of others, as it will negatively affect everyone in the team.
Sympathy: You can sympathize with many people but not all. Working in a team, you will come across unique backgrounds
and situations so be mindful of other members' situations or circumstances that you might not normally be sympathetic to.
Trust: You tend to trust others but still view their intentions to follow through on commitments with some suspicion. This
caution can be important when you first form a team but trust that your team members will do their work by setting clear
expectations of work quality in order to maintain team trust and accountability.
Page | 24
OPENNESS
Openness to Experience
Adventurousness
Artistic Interests
Imagination
Intellect
Liberalism
Sentimentality
Adventurousness: While you enjoy some routine, you are not opposed to change and variety. During time restricted tasks,
depend on conventional methods but be open to exploring alternative thinking and methods when time and resources allow
your team to do so.
Artistic Interests: You tend to engage in the practical aspects of a task while still holding value in the aesthetic of the work.
Help your team to create a presentation-ready final product that is both technically sound and creative in order to achieve the
highest possible performance.
Imagination: You tend to think in concrete or tangible terms, which means you don't easily get lost in thought. Capitalize on
this ability to concentrate on your work, encouraging other team members to do the same, but take mental breaks that include
non-structured thinking to help generate new ideas and solve challenging problems.
Page | 25
Intellect: You do not mind engaging in theoretical discussions or debating abstract ideas but are also content to focus on the
basic aspects of a task required for your team to succeed. Encourage your team to work on challenging problems while still
accomplishing simple but important deliverables.
Liberalism: You tend to be open to liberal ideologies, but do see the value in tradition and established ways of thinking. Use
this flexibility to connect to different-minded individuals and help others to be open to contrasting perspectives.
Sentimentality: You tend to be aware of your emotions and the emotions of others. Use this ability to try to recognize
situations where it is important to connect and empathize with others or where it is key to help the team focus on the tasks at
hand.
