1 We Are Number One

Executive Summary
This document consists of a series of reviews of three tenders submitted to We Are Number
One upon request of such submissions to provide a standardised method of accurately and fairly
ranking each of these three potential fabricating companies against one another.
This tender review was conducted to accurately select the most, as well as the least, desired
fabricator that will most closely cater to the requirements of the client, Clive Maynard from
EMPACT, and the designing company, We Are Number One. After using such methodology
to rank each of the potential fabricators, 5M Space Agency were chosen to be the most suitable
fabricator for the project. The marks awarded to each group, expressed as a percentage, are
presented in the table below.
Tenderer Percentage Mark

5M Space Agency 80%
S.M.A.A.F. 40%
Space Y 20%
5M Space Agency received the highest score first because of their extensive experience on all
criteria points but their distinguishing feature was their claimed and clearly supported passion
towards certain criteria points such as the field of woodwork and metalwork. Their complex
and well thought-out woodwork and metalwork projects such as in appendices A.1, A.2, C.1
and C.2 clearly demonstrate their passion to fabricate structures that are very closely related to
the criteria requirements. 5M space agency missed out on a perfect score by failing to contain
any members who had completed a certificate course in metalwork and woodwork (all other
teams also failed to satisfy this criteria) also, by only submitting one piece of evidence to
support their experience with reading and understanding plans, rather than multiple pieces of
evidence which would have demonstrated a more vast history in this area instead of a brief one.
S.M.A.A.F. clearly took the time to address all five tender evaluation criteria points, however
they only provided evidence for ample experience in each area, rather than providing many
pieces of evidence for each criteria points and were subsequently awarded a much lower overall
score than 5M Space Agency, who did indeed provide evidence of extensive knowledge in many
of the required areas. If S.M.A.A.F. was chosen to build for We Are Number One, it is believed
that a satisfactory prototype could be produced, however close supervision would be desirable
to ensure the best possible version of the prototype is produced.
Finally, Space Y were considered the least desirable group to fabricate We Are Number Ones
Mars Rover prototype. Space Y failed to exclusively explain and provide evidence for their
experience in the criteria areas and instead tended to discuss each criterion point and explain
2 We Are Number One

why it is important for a fabricating group to have sufficient skills in these areas. Over the
course of their tender submission, only three appendices were provided compared to the nine
valid and relevant appendices provided and referred to by 5M and the seven appendices
provided by S.M.A.A.F. This comparison alone provides ample evidence (although it was not
the only evidence to suggest this conclusion) to conclude Space Y to be the lowest scoring
tender submission and as a result, a rerun of the tender submission process would be requested
and in the worst-case scenario that Space Y becomes We Are Number Ones allocated
fabricator, extremely close supervision will be essential to provide even a satisfactory version of
We Are Number Ones Mars Rover prototype.

1.0 Introduction
The following document entails the tender submissions of three contracting groups, 5M Space
Agency, Space Y and S.M.A.A.F. These tender submissions were compared against one another
and were given a score out of 15 based on their response to We Are Number Ones tender
evaluation criteria.
By a comfortable margin, 5M Space Agency has been chosen by We Are Number One as the
most suitable contracting group to construct We Are Number Ones Mars Rover prototype.
The awarded marks for the three tender submissions are displayed as percentages in the
following table.

3.0 S.M.A.A.F. Tender Review
3.1 Response to Design Package Review
Understanding of Design
The body of the design is constructed by four pieces of pine planks. The water bottle would be
held in place by a weave bag hooked to four alternate saddle brackets. The rover is constructed
with four metal rods as axles with eight tennis balls as wheels. Each metal rod is threaded on
both ends and thrusted through a straw that is embedded in the front or rear pine plank. The
black straws are inserted and glued into the drilled front and rear planks to reduce the friction
between the planks and metal rods. The washers are used on the axles to prevent the tennis
balls and nuts from getting loose.
Clear understanding of the design is demonstrated through an alternate overall explanation of
the prototype. S.M.A.A.F. understands the materials used for each component as well as the
function or purpose of each component as all of their stated features of the prototype are in-fact
correct. A detailed understanding of the design is further demonstrated in section 2.2 of their
tender submission, which follows the above extract, whereby they concisely list all of the client
brief criteria that have been met by the prototype.
Concerns and Suggestions
The concern related with the blueprint of the design is the scales used in drawing number 1-3
are inappropriate. For example, the correct scale is 1:2, not 1/2 as listed in drawing number 3.
Another matter associated with the plans is different views are not found in the drawings. The
SI unit for the dimensions are not addressed in the drawings. It is difficult for the clients and
contractors to understand the drawings. In the design package, weave bag is mentioned in
construction methods but it is not displayed in the drawings. In the tender evaluation criteria,
the total criteria scores are 15 instead 18 marks as per the designers criteria.
First, in addressing the prototype drawings, S.M.A.A.F. are correct in their suggestions of
incorrect scale notation. As a result, these scale indications will be revised and corrected before
construction commences.
In terms of the dimension indication, that was a mistake by the designers and changes will be
made to all drawings to ensure the correct units of the drawings are included.
Another typo was present in the indication of total criteria score which is in-fact out of 15
points. This will also be changed immediately and the new revision will be presented to
S.M.A.A.F. before construction commences.
S.M.A.A.F. have also stated that different views are not found in the drawings, however they
have not stated specifically which drawings they would like to see more views of. We Are
Number Ones design package contains a range of alternate views as demonstrated in drawing
numbers three, four, five and six. They would be correct in stating that there is no specification
of which view each drawing is but this concern lacks specificity so it is difficult for the
designers to tell exactly what is it S.M.A.A.F. would like changed and subsequently very
7 We Are Number One

difficult for We Are Number One to make such changes. Therefore, as a result of this concern
lacking specificity, We Are Number One will not act on this concern.
S.M.A.A.F.s statement that the drawings are difficult to understand is very brief. We Are
Number One is very accepting in realizing the fact that the drawings may be hard to
understand but without specific and direct indication of what needs to be changed, We Are
Number One has no choice but to guess what points are incomprehensible and attempt to make
them more communicable. In attempting to mitigate this concern, We Are Number One has
agreed to revise the drawings and attempt to make them more comprehensible before
construction commences but without proper specification of concerns, it will be difficult to
correctly address these concerns.
Additionally, the weave bag is indeed a hard concept to grasp, but using drawing software to
model this component proved to be out of We Are Number Ones skill set. As a result, We Are
Number One will not provide additional drawings for the weave bag design but we believe the
confusion can effectively be mitigated by providing a supervisor from We Are Number One
during the construction of the weave bag which will ensure it is constructed to the intended
standard.
The other concern of the design is the prototype might break from fall through a vertical drop
of one metre. Even though the designers have highlighted the risk and mitigation in their risk
management, it will be a great problem because pine plank is softwood and it is prone to dents
and cracks. According to the construction method, elastic bands or rubber bands are used to
secure the weave bag to the saddle brackets. Elastic bands break easily and not sturdy enough
to hold the 600g load. The rubber bands tend to lose its elasticity after use.
The designing company can alter the details on the drawings according to the concerns
mentioned above. Shock absorbing material like polystyrene can be used to line the timber to
provide protection for the rovers frame. Nylon cable ties can be applied as substitutes for
elastic bands. Cable ties are durable and inexpensive. Another alternative is the thick, heavy
duty rubber band instead of the rubber bands suggested by the designing company.
S.M.A.A.F. has provided valid alternative methods to secure the weave bag and to ensure the
absorbent properties of prototype are preserved, We Are Number One has agreed to alter the
design and change the thinner rubber bands to thicker, more sturdy rubber bands. S.M.A.A.F.
will have to source these materials and the costing themselves and present them to We Are
Number One before they are implemented into the design.
Finally, We Are Number One has decided that pine wood would will in-fact be sufficient to
withstand the one metre drop provided all components are assembled to the intended standard.
Correct assembly will ensure the tennis balls and axle absorb the majority of the landing force
and the chassis is protected. Exactly how polystyrene could be attached to the prototype is not
indicated so it is difficult for We Are Number One to consider this alternative and as a result
We Are Number will not be authorizing any changes to this aspect of the design.
8 We Are Number One

3.2 History of Building Projects
History in building projects is an important criterion in this design package. Contractors with
this experience know how to use the tools like saw, hammer and other power tools to build a
prototype. Adeepa Rajamanthri (Adeepa R.) and Charlene Goh (Charlene G.) from SMAAF had
built projects in high school. The project built by Charlene G. can be found in Appendix A.1. In
Appendix A.2, the project was built by Adeepa R.
Appendix A.1 and Appendix A.2 demonstrates basic knowledge in woodwork. However more
evidence of additional projects would result in a higher score for this criterion. Additionally,
Appendix A.2 s more reliable than appendix A.1 in that it offers specific ownership of the
project through the presentation of student card in the appendix making it a much more
reliable appendix than appendix A.1.
3.3 Understanding and Reading Plans

Understanding plans is crucial in building the prototype for Mars rover. Contractors, who
understand the details on the drawings, can build the prototype with the right dimensions that
corresponding with the designing companys design package. The drawings in Appendix A.6
and Appendix A.7 are parts of Stage 1 Design Package created by SMAAF. These blueprints
are designed by Adeepa R. using Sketchup, assisted by other group members from SMAAF.
Appendix A.6 and appendix A.7 demonstrates the ability to communicate a design to a
satisfactory standard. Additionally, history was one of the key points in this criterium which
was referring to work prior to the stage one design package. Due to this key point being
included in the criterium, including past evidence for having experience in understanding and
reading plans would have resulted in a higher score.
3.4 Experience with Woodwork

Contactors, with prior experience in woodwork, have the woodwork skills and tools to build
the project. The contractors, with such skills, will less likely to be wounded when operating the
tools. With reference to Appendices A.1, A.2, A.3 and A.4, Adeepa R., Charlene G. and Flora
Wong (Flora W.) have previous experience in woodwork. Adeepa R. and Charlene G. had
completed wood projects in school. Adeepa R. has experience in crafting a cupboard as stated in
Appendix A.3. As for Flora W., she had assembled a desk from flat-packed purchase from Super
Amart.
Appendices A.1, A.2,A.3 and A.4 do indeed provide evidence to We Are Number One that
S.M.A.A.F. and its concerned members are very experienced when it comes to woodwork and
assembling relevant structures. Whilst we are inclined to believe this work is theirs, there is
lack of proof in appendices A.1 and A.4 and this makes it difficult to verify all of S.M.A.A.F.s
claims.
9 We Are Number One

3.5 Experience with Metalwork
Contractors, with metalwork skill, will produce higher quality prototype compared to
contractors with no prior experience in metalwork skill. Flora W.
had experience in assembling a metal bed frame. Evidence in form of photo has been provided
by Flora W. in Appendix A.5.
Appendix A.5 certainly demonstrates the ability to use power tools and shows that S.M.A.A.F.
know a reasonable amount about metal work. However, the issue arises again that there is no
inclusion of legitimate ownership without a provided certificate or object in the photo (such as a
student card) to prove that the item is Floras work. Furthermore, addition of extra evidence
for previous metalwork experience would have resulted in a higher score.
3.6 Certificate Classes

Contractors, who had attended Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses and achieved
certificates related with woodwork and metalwork, have more indepth understanding in
constructing complicated designs and their concepts. Members from SMAAF have not
achieved any certificates or completed VET courses related to woodwork and metalwork.
S.M.A.A.F. have demonstrated a moderate understanding and level of experience in both the
woodwork and metalwork fields through their presentation of appendices and explanation of
such appendices.
4.0 Space Y Tender Review

The design consists of a square box base body with tennis balls as the wheels. The use of tennis
ball is to act as an absorbent for the impact when it is drop. The bottle is held in a waiver net
which is then connected/hooked on to the hand-make saddle brackets which is in place in an
alternating fashion.
Some understanding of the prototype is clearly demonstrated through the communication of
the purpose of the tennis ball wheels, as well as the safety benefits of the weave bag. However,
Space Y has failed to explain some concepts such as the purpose of the straw being glued to all
axles and the purpose of the double-axle system.
EMPACT requires a vehicle to be constructed such that it is capable of being tested by rolling
down a slope between 30-45 degrees for 2 metres, and falling through a vertical drop of 1 metre
without sustaining any significant damage. It also require the prototype to carry a weight, in
the form of 600ml water bottle. This cargo must be loaded onto the top of the prototype, with
no complex assembly required (i.e. closing a box flap is acceptable, screwing a panel is not). The
condition of the cargo must be easy to assess without directly accessing the prototype. The
entire footprint of the prototype vehicle must fit within an A3 sheet of paper (420mm x
297mm), and the maximum height of any portion of the prototype is 210mm. The prototype
10 We Are Number One

must be designed to cost less than $30 when pricing materials using the spreadsheet provided
on blackboard.
Space Y has provided a very clear understanding of the client brief but have failed to relate the
client brief to We Are Number Ones design package and state weather or no the criteria has
been met by the design and its specifications.
Space Y has two concerns relating to the design of the Mars Rover Prototype. The first relates
to the wheels of the Rovers, we do not believe that the tennis balls are the most suitable and
efficient material to use. We believe that the tennis balls will not be as effective, this is due to
its having holes drilled in it for the axel, which will reduce its ability to bounce. It is
recommended that wooden wheels are used instead. Making the wheels with 60cm in diametre
and buying a block of wood with the dimension of 400mm x 400mm x 20mm will cost you
around $4.20. Instead of $8.00 for the eight tennis balls. The hold for the axel can also
remained the same.
This is a valid point that has been made by space Y. However, the request has been rejected by
We Are Number One as we believe that although the cost is slightly higher, tennis balls will
have some degree of absorbency, especially when compared to solid blocks of wood. We Are
Number One believes that having wood as the wheels will make for a much higher risk of the
prototype breaking upon impact. This increase in risk would elevate this risks likelihood in the
risk evaluation and will result in many other unnecessary subsequent actions in order to
mitigate this high-risk occurrence.
The second concern is that the square box is not close in on the bottom. Our concern is that if
the waiver net rip, the bottle will fall out. Our solution to this is to put a sheet of aluminum on
the bottom of the square box. The aluminum sheet will have to be 110mm x 250mm x 5mm
and it will cost around $1.10. Also, an additional eight more screws (the same dimension as the
one that you already use to build the box) is needed to hold it down, this will cost you around
$0.64
This is a very valid consideration from Space Y. This cheap fail-safe feature would be a good
edition to the rover but when considering this alteration, We Are Number One had to make the
choice between adding to increasing the cost or being confident in the reliability of the weave
bag and what the bag is attached to. After close consideration, We Are Number One has chosen
to place our trust in the quality of the weave bag and the now thick and sturdy elastic bands it
will be fastened to and therefore reject this proposed alteration.
4.2 Evaluation of Space Ys Criteria

It is required of the contractor to have a history of building projects, as well as reading and understanding
building plans
- To have a history of building projects is imperative, as it allows the contractor to apply their experience
and ultimately produce a final product of a significantly higher standard than a contractor with little to
no experience.
- Experience with comprehending plans and methodologies is also highly desirable. Such experience will
result in the design perfectly translating into a functioning example.

- Poor knowledge and lack of experience can potentially place contractors at risk, as they will not know
how to correctly conduct themselves in the workshop nor will they be capable of properly operating tools.
Refer to the Construction Stage of the Risk Management Plan for further explanations.
It is highly desired that the contractor has a hobby of woodwork, metalwork and being hands on
- Having an interest and/or experience in Woodwork and Metalwork furthers the competency of the
contractors. These skills can be put into practice when constructing the rover, which will again result in a
much higher quality finished product.
It would be preferable that the contractor has completed a certificate or class in practical work such as Metal Work
or Wood Work
- A Certificate serves as a justification for the claimed level of experience. Those with such a qualification
stand out against the rest, since their claims are legitimized by the certificate.
Our team at Space Y have a history of building projects and being hands on. This was through
building our own version of the Mars Rover Prototype. We had to know how to read and
understanding of our plans but also how to use tools such as AutoCAD and machineries such as
a drill and a jig-saw. In appendix 2 is a certificate of one of our contractor being highly
recommended in wood work. Overall our team is ready for any challenges that are thrown at
us.
Please note: whilst this tender submission would usually be formatted in a way that each
criterium is isolated and then reviewed, Space Y have provided a very brief criteria submission
so it seems much more conventional to review the entire criteria as an entire body.
Space Y clearly understand what criterium is required of contractors to be considered desirable
partners. This is demonstrated through the explanation that has been provided on the
importance of each criterium and the explanation of benefits of being competent in said
criterium. However, Space Y has failed to specifically address each individual criterium in
relation to their skills and experience in such areas. A few general statements have been made
that they are experienced in building projects and being hands on; in reading and
understanding plans and in using industry standard tools and only two appendices have been
included to cover all five criteria points. Without clear and individual explanation of their
competencies in each criterium, it makes it very difficult for them to score highly on We Are
Number Ones tender evaluation criteria.
5.0 5M Tender Review

Page 6 and 7 of Appendix A.1 entails 5M Space Agencys understanding of design section. This
section entails a thorough and in depth explanation of all components of the prototype
including the wooden chassis, the axle, the wheels and the weave bag. Explanation of all
components are split up into separate paragraphs and explained in a comprehensive manner
which clearly demonstrates their understanding of We Are Number Ones prototype design.
In following their understanding of design section, they have addressed the client brief
compliance as shown on page 7 of appendix A.1. 5M have sourced the dimensions of the

prototype from We Are Number Ones design package and utilized it to state the prototypes
compliance to the dimension requirements. Whilst they have in-fact failed to address some of
the other client requirements such as easy fastening of the 600ml water bottle, they have
demonstrated an above average understanding of the Mars rover.
5M Space Agency has 3 concerns We Are Number Ones rover design. The first is the
aluminium saddle clips. It is a concern as they are required to be fabricated out of a sheet of
aluminium at a great cost. It is suggested that the use of prefabricated copper saddle clips is
more ideal as they are easy to source and can reduce costings to the final build. 5M believes
that making this change be an advantage to both the designers and contractors as they require
little fabrication and provide a larger profit margin to the client.
The use of copper saddles would in-fact result in a larger profit margin and changing these
brackets from aluminium to copper will not evoke any additional risks that might compromise
the durability of the design. Due to these factors, copper saddle brackets instead of aluminium
ones will be allowed by We Are Number One. The sourcing and cost of this material alteration
will be finalised before construction of the prototype commences.
The second concern is tennis ball wheel design. It concerns 5M because tennis balls contain
pressurized air inside them and by drilling holes in them, the air would escape. Without this
air, it could cause the balls to lose their springy nature and result car crashing into the ground
on impact. It is suggested that either the tennis balls be replaced with a more solid material or
the tennis balls be resealed with glue after the axle has been put through. In the case of
replacing, 5M recommends multiple CDs glued together as they are structurally solid. By
gluing multiple together, the wheels would not only be stronger, they would be less prone to
bending or breaking as they spread the force over a larger area. If this is not feasible, then 5M
suggests seeling the gaps between the holes and the axles as it produce an airtight seal and
keep some of the springy nature as the air would not be able to escape.
First, it is admitted by We Are Number One that puncturing the tennis balls will result in air
contained within the ball being released however the prime factor that give tennis balls their
absorbent properties is not the pressurised air held within them, rather the elasticity of the
rubber structure and its elastic tendency to return to its most stable state (a spherical state).
Loss of pressurised air will indeed result in less absorbency from the balls, however it certainly
will not impede the absorbent qualities of the ball.
In addressing the suggestion to reseal the balls after they have been attached to the axle, this
will not ensure much more absorbency as the pressurised air has already been released.
Additionally, using glue or another compound to seal the ball will come at a cost which is
logically not worth the slight benefit it may entail. However, instead of sourcing a sealing
component, We Are Number One could alter the quality testing procedure to ensure the nut is
screwed onto the axle tight enough to seal the balls as much as possible which could satisfy this
concern for 5M Space Agency.

In addressing the suggestions to implement CDs into the rover design, this possibility has
already been considered by We Are Number One during the design process and it has
unfortunately been deemed impractical. The CDs will not be nearly as absorbent as the tennis
balls and will result in other components of the prototype such as the chassis experiencing a
much larger force upon impact. This will heighten the risk of the prototype breaking upon
impact and the risk management section of We Are Number Ones design package will need to
be unnecessarily altered to cater for this altered distribution of impact force.
From the discussion and evaluation of these points, We Are Number One has concluded that
the only alteration allowed to be made to the prototype is the substation of aluminium saddle
brackets for copper ones.
The final concern is the budget criteria. In the clients brief it is stated that the rovers materials
must not exceed a cost of $30. On page 3 of the design package, a bill of materials is provided
stating ht cost of the car would be $25.93, as per the materials list summery provided by Curtin
University. However, on pages 4-7, a second bill of materials with the costings from the
suppliers, states a final cost of $56.64. It is a concern to 5M as the materials list summery is
only to be used as a guide and the final costings should be budgeted on suppliers costing. To
reduce this cost, 5M suggests removing the large amount of excess materials, such as the wood
used for the body. One cost saver would be to use one type of wood for all 4 panels, instead of
two types. Another suggesting is to use a cheaper type of wood, for instance using mdf board
instead of pine wood. Another cost saver, as stated above, is to use prefabricated copper saddle
clips instead of aluminium saddle clips as it removes to need for fabrication and the large excess
of aluminium sheeting. Other small cost cuttings like using recycled materials (such as twine
and elastic bands) would also reduce the final costing.
After close consideration, it is evident that the costing of the prototype is in unnecessary
excess. 5M have suggested a range of methods to reduce the costing. The most notable one is
the suggestion of using mdf board for the entire chassis and after theorising this suggestion
and considering the possibilities that may affect the functionality of the machine, We Are
Number One has decided that it is in-fact a very useful alteration to make. Mdf board will be a
lot cheaper and will still offer the same function of the much heavier and much more expensive
pine wood and it is for this reason that We Are Number One will agree to this alteration and
make changes to the design plans accordingly.
5.2 History of Building Projects

Has built many different projects over a long period and has the knowledge and experience
5M Space Agency has a wide array of construction expertise. Ranging from year 8 high school
design and technology, through to home build projects and renovations. The first sample is
Appendix A.1, a Counter Level Camera mount. The mount provides a steady image as the
person moves around due to the arms 50/50 weight distribution. This allows the arm to stay
level with the ground always and give a steady image. Its constructed from pvc pipe with a hole
drilled in the centre attached to a 360degree castor wheel. The counter weight consists of
magnets and is equal to the camera that hangs on the other end. This build required precision
craftsmanship to ensure both the weights were equal and the balance point was directly
through the arms centre of gravity. The second sample is Appendix A.2, an ikea shelving unit.
Whilst 5M did not fabricate the components, 5M was required to assembly all componentry.
The project is assembled by connecting all the shelves to each upright by an interlocking bolt
system. Special bolts were screwed into each hole along the upright, 2 for each shelf on each
upright. The bolts were then slotted into predrilled holes in the shelves and an interlocking nut
was attached through the underside of the shelf. Both examples required 5M to follow set
instructions very like the mars rover design. Our team believes these examples show our skills
in the best possible way.
These two appendices show a fairly extensive range of building related projects as presented in
appendix A.1 and A.2. Additionally, an excellent understanding of design concepts is
demonstrated through the detailed explanation of the standards required for the assembly of
each of the projects.

Understanding and reading plans
Has a vast history where understanding plans were required to complete the task
5M Space agency believes that to produce the highest standard of work, a full understanding of
the complete design package is crucial. To ensure this happens, all the contractors meet on the
Tuesday the 4th of April 2017 to discuss all aspects of each companys design package. Both the
minutes and agenda, Appendix B.1, are evidence of such meeting.
Another unique expertise 5M processes, is one of its members (Jonathan Rayfield) has worked
for a building trade store supplying building quotes to contractors. As part of that task, Mr
Rayfield was required to analysis house plans and interpret the details to supply the builder
with the correct products. His Resume is attached in Appendix B.2.
Whilst appendix B.2 provides excellent evidence for 5Ms experience in understanding and
reading relevant plans in the past, Appendix B.1 is somewhat irrelevant in that it only provides
evidence of a committed and organised team environment. This information is useful but in the
context of this particular criterium, it does not demonstrate the ability to comprehend design
plans or construction processes. As a result, only one piece of evidence for this criterium will be
considered.

Woodwork Expertise
Has done a lot of wood work over a long period of time and has hobby for it
5M Space Agency prides itself on its practical woodworking skills. All members of the team
have completed several year 8 level projects, some going on to higher skilled projects, like
home renovations. The first sample, Appendix C.1, is a wooden outdoor couch. The couch is
constructed for prefabricated pine components held together with 12mm hex screws. The
components are assembled by screwing the hex screws into predrilled holes containing raw
plugs. The second sample, Appendix C.2, are some wooden shelves constructed in a shed. The
components are handmade, consisting of 3 mdf uprights. Each upright has holding planks

screwed at each shelf height with tech screws. Each shelf is constructed from 6mm mdf board,
screwed into each holding plank with two tech screws on either side. In both examples,
members of 5M Space Agency showed techniques that can be applied to any woodworking
project, which our team believes is useful for this mars rover.
This section demonstrates experience in woodwork to a very high standard. The explanation
and evidence of the homemade couch encourages We Are Number One to believe that 5M has a
hobby for woodwork. Their claims are supported with sufficiently evidenced appendices and
strongly encourages We Are Number One to believe that 5M is the best option possible when
it comes to having experience in woodwork and woodwork associated projects.

Metalwork Expertise
Has done a lot of metal work over a long period of time and has hobby for it
Like in woodworking, 5M Space Agency prides itself on its metalworking skills. Again, all
members of the team have completed several year 8 level projects, some moving on to higher
skilled projects. The first sample, Appendix D.1, is a plane frame wine holder. The holder is
made of 6mm steel rod, which was bent to form the curved shape, then welded to assembly the
parts. The frame was then spray painted grey. The second sample, Appendix D.2, was rewelded
gate hinge. The gate hinge broke away from the gate post at the weld. The hinge was first
cleaned of all the old welding solvent and sanded back to have clean contact surfaces. The hinge
was then rewelded and paint for cosmetic effect. In both examples, members of 5M Space
Agency showed techniques that can be applied to any metalworking project, which our team
believes is useful for this mars rover.
Following a very similar template to their explanation of woodwork experience, 5M has

provided very relevant and attractive demonstrations of their experience in metalwork.
Appendices D.1 and D.2 entail complex knowledge and design understanding skills in the field
of metal work and 5M has further demonstrated their expertise in the field of metalwork via
their thorough explanation of each step involved in creating the listed projects.

Certificate Classes
Has completed a certificate in metalwork and woodwork, both to a high level
Unfortunately, 5M Space does not have a member that meets the required certification required
in the criteria. However, one member, Aaron Tao, does have an A grade in year 10 woodwork,
which is 5M best possible certification, Appendix E.1. All other members do have a year 8
equivalent pass grade certifications.
Whilst 5M has not satisfied the most desired experience level in this criterium but they have
provided evidence of the next best requirement through appendix E.1 as well as indicate the
experience of the entire team aside from the most qualified member of the team. These points
act as further reinforcement towards the fact that 5Ms contractors are the right team for this
task.

6.0 Summary
In summing up, 5M Space Agency have produced a very impressive tender submission and
have subsequently achieved a score of 12 out of 15 (80%), making them the most preferred
fabricator of We Are Number Ones Mars Rover prototype. Coming in second is S.M.A.A.F
with a score of 6 out of 15 (40%) which is indeed a large step down in terms of points however
this difference is clearly reflected in the standard of these two tender submissions. Finally, is
the lowest scoring tender submission, and We Are Number Ones least desired fabricator,
Space Y. Space Y have provided very little explanation and evidence of their experience in the
required areas and have subsequently been awarded a score of 3 out of 15 (20%). 5M Space
Agency is obviously the most desired fabricator however if either of the other two fabricators
are chosen to construct We Are Number Ones Mars Rover, extremely heavy supervision will
be required or in the ideal situation, a rerun of the tender would be conducted.

Excutive Summary
This tender has been in written by Space Y in response to the requirements of the designing
company We Are Number One, which is acting on the behalf of the client EMPACT. The
purpose of this tender is to demonstrate to We Are Number One that Space Y understanding
of the design and construction method makes it the most suitable company to construct the
Mars Rover Prototype.
Our team at Space Y are very diverse and skilful, we deliver a high quality of work on time. We
are confident that we are the right team for your company to build your Mars Rover Prototype.
We belived we have all the skills and qulifications that meet your criteria. Our contractors all
have experience using tools that is required to build your prototype, this was through building
our prototype, wood work and metal work classes in high school. We learned how to operate
the tools and the appropriate uses for each tool. We also learnt the safety equipment that is
required to operate this tool in a safe manner.
Also, our team at Space Y have a history of building projects and being hands on. This was
through building our own version of the Mars Rover Prototype. We had to know how to read
and understanding of our plans but also how to use tools such as AutoCAD and machineries
such as a drill and a jig-saw to build our prototype. We as a team worked well together and we
are ready for any challenges ahead, but we will make sure that we deliver the Mars Rover
Prototype to the highest quality and on time.
With the design, A design review has been performed to ensure that members of Space Y have
a full and complete understanding of the project. During that time, we have two concerns
regarding the design of the Mars Rover Prototype. The first relates to the wheels of the Rovers,
we do not believe that the tennis balls are the most suitable and efficient material. We believe
that the tennis balls will not be as effective, this is due to its having holes drilled in it for the
axel, which will reduce its ability to bounce. It is recommended that wooden wheels are used
instead.
The second concern relates to the fact that the square box is not close in on the bottom. Our
concern is that if the waiver net rip at any stages during its mission, the bottle will fall out,
hence the mission is a fail. Our solution to this is to put a sheet of aluminum on the bottom of
the square box, making it a close box and anything shouldnt fall through it. If we made all the
changes that was addressed, your cost for the whole project is reduce by $2, bringing the total
to $23.87. This might not be the biggest reduce total but the Mars Rover Prototype will be
stronger and better than the original design.
Overall, Space Y are proud of their staff, capabilities and reputation and would like to assure We
Are Number One that Mars Rover Prototype will be built of the highest standard and will be
delivered within the promised time-frame.

Introduction
This document contains Space Y tender submission for the construction of Mars Rover
Prototype. This document has been written in response to the criteria as defined by We Are
Number One stage one design package, developed on behalf of EMPACT.
Design Package Review

A design review has been performed to ensure that our team at Space Y has a full and
complete understanding of the project. We also had a meeting with We Are Number One
design team to clarified the information that is given in the design package.
Understanding Of Design
The design consists of a square box base body with tennis balls as the wheels. The use of tennis
ball is to act as an absorbent for the impact when it is drop. The bottle is held in a waiver net
which is then connected/hooked on to the hand-make saddle brackets which is in place in an
alternating fashion.
Client Brief Compliance

EMPACT requires a vehicle to be constructed such that it is capable of being tested by rolling
down a slope between 30-45 degrees for 2 metres, and falling through a vertical drop of 1
metre without sustaining any significant damage. It also require the prototype to carry a
weight, in the form of 600ml water bottle. This cargo must be loaded onto the top of the
prototype, with no complex assembly required (i.e. closing a box flap is acceptable, screwing a
panel is not). The condition of the cargo must be easy to assess without directly accessing the
prototype. The entire footprint of the prototype vehicle must fit within an A3 sheet of paper
(420mm x 297mm), and the maximum height of any portion of the prototype is 210mm. The
prototype must be designed to cost less than $30 when pricing materials using the spreadsheet
provided on blackboard.
Concerns And Solutions

Space Y has two concerns relating to the design of the Mars Rover Prototype. The first relates
to the wheels of the Rovers, we do not believe that the tennis balls are the most suitable and
efficient material to use. We believe that the tennis balls will not be as effective, this is due to
its having holes drilled in it for the axel, which will reduce its ability to bounce. It is
recommended that wooden wheels are used instead. Making the wheels with 60cm in
diameter and buying a block of wood with the dimension of 400mm x 400mm x 20mm will cost
you around $4.20. Instead of $8.00 for the eight tennis balls. The hold for the axel can also
remained the same.
The second concern is that the square box is not close in on the bottom. Our concern is that if
the waiver net rip, the bottle will fall out. Our solution to this is to put a sheet of aluminum on
the bottom of the square box. The aluminum sheet will have to be 110mm x 250mm x 5mm
3|Page
and it will cost around $1.10. Also, an additional eight more screws (the same dimension as the
one that you already use to build the box) is needed to hold it down, this will cost you around
$0.64
Tender Evaluation Criteria

Please note that in answering this tender, the criteria have been listed in italics and then Space
Y response follows in normal text.
Costing
Costing is dependent on the contractors' access to materials, and their charge per unit of labour. It
should be noted that the client is eager to minimize any costs associated with construction, so that profit
can be maximized from the final product. Incorporating recycled materials in the final design will further
reduce the cost, so it is highly desirable that the contractor intends to do so.
As you have read in the Concerns and Solutions section of this document, if we made all the
changes that was addressed, your cost for the whole project is reduce by $2, bring the total to
$23.87. This might not be the biggest reduce total but the Mars Rover Prototype will be
stronger and better than the original design.
Criteria
It is required of the contractor to have a history of building projects, as well as reading and
understanding building plans
- To have a history of building projects is imperative, as it allows the contractor to apply their
experience and ultimately produce a final product of a significantly higher standard than a
contractor with little to no experience.
- Experience with comprehending plans and methodologies is also highly desirable. Such
experience will result in the design perfectly translating into a functioning example.
- Poor knowledge and lack of experience can potentially place contractors at risk, as they will not
know how to correctly conduct themselves in the workshop nor will they be capable of properly
operating tools. Refer to the Construction Stage of the Risk Management Plan for further
explanations.
It is highly desired that the contractor has a hobby of woodwork, metalwork and being hands on
- Having an interest and/or experience in Woodwork and Metalwork furthers the competency of
the contractors. These skills can be put into practice when constructing the rover, which will
again result in a much higher quality finished product.
It would be preferable that the contractor has completed a certificate or class in practical work such as
Metal Work or Wood Work
- A Certificate serves as a justification for the claimed level of experience. Those with such a
qualification stand out against the rest, since their claims are legitimized by the certificate.
Our team at Space Y have a history of building projects and being hands on. This was through
building our own version of the Mars Rover Prototype. We had to know how to read and
understanding of our plans but also how to use tools such as AutoCAD and machineries such as
4|Page
a drill and a jig-saw. In appendix 2 is a certificate of one of our contractor being highly
recommended in wood work. Overall our team is ready for any challenges that are thrown at
us.
Skills
The contractor must be capable of safely operating the provided tools. Correct operation of the tools
will make the production process a lot smoother and faster. It should be noted that incorrect usage of
tools can be very jeopardizing to the integrity of the process and potentially place the contractor(s) in
harm's way. Refer to the Risk Management Plan for a further explanation of the risks involved with
improper use of provided tools.
- Hacksaw
- Drill
- Pliers
- Stanley knife
- Tri-square
- Screw driver
- Tap & Die
Our contractor all have experience using tools that are listed, this was through building our
prototype, wood work and metal work classes in high school. We learned how to operate the
tools and the appropriate use for each tool. We all so learned the safety equipment that is
required to operate this tool in a safe manner. In appendix 1 is an example of wood work
projects that was done by one of our contractor in high school.

Executive Summary
The purpose of this tender is to show that SMAAF is the prefect tenderer to build the
Mars Rover for designing company, WE ARE NUMBER ONE based on its excellent
understanding of the design and construction method.
The tender evaluation criteria, established by the designing company, will be clearly
addressed in the content of this document. SMAAF has members with vast experience
and knowledge in projects related to woodwork and metalwork. SMAAF has presented
evidence that they have prior experience in building and assembling projects and
furniture with different tools. SMAAF members have also provided evidence that they
are keen in understanding the designers plans. SMAAF is very eager to work with WE
ARE NUMBER ONE in constructing this project. SMAAF can assure the designers
that all the work will be produced under high standards and delivered within timely
manner.
Concern raised from this design package is the material for the frame of the rover. It
might sustain damage from fall of vertical drop. Pine wood is a softwood and might
breaks or cracks from the fall of vertical drop from one metre. The other concern is that
elastic bands are not sturdy enough to hold the weave bag with a load of 600g. The
suggestion is polystyrene can be used to line the rovers body to provide extra
protection. Nylon cable ties can be utilised as substitute to secure weave bag to saddle
brackets.
In conclusion, SMAAF is a contracting company with high standards and devoted to

produce high quality creation within the fixed time frame. SMAAF members are
committed to respond to designing company and client in professional manner.

1.0 Introduction
This paper is contractors tender application for design package of Mars Rover
from SMAAF to client, EMPACT and designing company, WE ARE NUMBER
ONE. It consists of executive summary, design package review and addressing
the tender evaluation criteria.
2.0 Design Package Review

Design package review is an important part of tender submission to prove that
SMAAF has a comprehensive understanding of the design.
2.1 Understanding of Design

The body of the design is constructed by four pieces of pine planks. The water
bottle would be held in place by a weave bag hooked to four alternate saddle
brackets. The rover is constructed with four metal rods as axles with eight tennis
balls as wheels. Each metal rod is threaded on both ends and thrusted through a
straw that is embedded in the front or rear pine plank. The black straws are
inserted and glued into the drilled front and rear planks to reduce the friction
between the planks and metal rods. The washers are used on the axles to prevent
the tennis balls and nuts from getting loose.
2.2 Client Brief Compliance
The client requests for a Mars rover that can roll down a 30-degrees-slope and
will not sustain any damage from a one metre vertical drop. This Mars rover has
four axles attached to eight wheels made from tennis balls. It would still be able
to land on the wheels even from the fall. The weave bag in the prototype will
carry the weight of 600ml water bottle as per the client brief. The content of the
rover is also easily accessible and visually inspected from the distance of one
metre because it does not have base and top. The dimension of Mars rovers
design can fit into a A3 sheet paper without any overhanging assembly on the
boundary. The height of prototype is less than 210mm.
3
2.3 Concerns and Suggestions
The concern related with the blueprint of the design is the scales used in drawing
number 1-3 are inappropriate. For example, the correct scale is 1:2, not 1/2 as
listed in drawing number 3. Another matter associated with the plans is different
views are not found in the drawings. The SI unit for the dimensions are not
addressed in the drawings. It is difficult for the clients and contractors to
understand the drawings. In the design package, weave bag is mentioned in
construction methods but it is not displayed in the drawings. In the tender
evaluation criteria, the total criteria scores are 15 instead 18 marks as per the
designers criteria.
The other concern of the design is the prototype might break from fall through a
vertical drop of one metre. Even though the designers have highlighted the risk
and mitigation in their risk management, it will be a great problem because pine
plank is softwood and it is prone to dents and cracks. According to the
construction method, elastic bands or rubber bands are used to secure the weave
bag to the saddle brackets. Elastic bands break easily and not sturdy enough to
hold the 600g load. The rubber bands tend to lose its elasticity after use.
The designing company can alter the details on the drawings according to the
concerns mentioned above. Shock absorbing material like polystyrene can be
used to line the timber to provide protection for the rovers frame. Nylon cable
ties can be applied as substitutes for elastic bands. Cable ties are durable and
inexpensive. Another alternative is the thick, heavy duty rubber band instead of
the rubber bands suggested by the designing company.
3.0 Addressing the Tender Evaluation Criteria

Tender evaluation is an assessment conducted by client and designer company to
choose their preferred tenderer. Cost evaluation, skills with tools and prior
experience in woodwork and metalwork are assessed by the designing company.
SMAAF will utilise the recycled materials to cut down the cost in constructing
this project. Group members from SMAAF have built and assembled wood
4
projects and furniture using different tools, indicated in Appendix A.1 to
Appendix A.5. The tender evaluation criteria are answered with evidence
provided below.
3.1 History in Building Projects

History in building projects is an important criterion in this design package.
Contractors with this experience know how to use the tools like saw, hammer and
other power tools to build a prototype. Adeepa Rajamanthri (Adeepa R.) and
Charlene Goh (Charlene G.) from SMAAF had built projects in high school. The
project built by Charlene G. can be found in Appendix A.1. In Appendix A.2, the
project was built by Adeepa R.

Understanding plans is crucial in building the prototype for Mars rover.
Contractors, who understand the details on the drawings, can build the prototype
with the right dimensions that corresponding with the designing companys
design package. The drawings in Appendix A.6 and Appendix A.7 are parts of
Stage 1 Design Package created by SMAAF. These blueprints are designed by
Adeepa R. using Sketchup, assisted by other group members from SMAAF.

Contactors, with prior experience in woodwork, have the woodwork skills and
tools to build the project. The contractors, with such skills, will less likely to be
wounded when operating the tools. With reference to Appendices A.1, A.2, A.3
and A.4, Adeepa R., Charlene G. and Flora Wong (Flora W.) have previous
experience in woodwork. Adeepa R. and Charlene G. had completed wood
projects in school. Adeepa R. has experience in crafting a cupboard as stated in
Appendix A.3. As for Flora W., she had assembled a desk from flat-packed
purchase from Super Amart.

Contractors, with metalwork skill, will produce higher quality prototype
compared to contractors with no prior experience in metalwork skill. Flora W.
5
had experience in assembling a metal bed frame. Evidence in form of photo has
been provided by Flora W. in Appendix A.5.

Contractors, who had attended Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses
and achieved certificates related with woodwork and metalwork, have more in-
depth understanding in constructing complicated designs and their concepts.
Members from SMAAF have not achieved any certificates or completed VET
courses related to woodwork and metalwork.

Tender Submission
5M Space Agency
Tender Evaluation- We Are Number One
Client- EMPACT
Date- 19/4/2017
Executive Summery
This tender submission is written by 5M Space agency to address We Are Number Ones tender
evaluation criteria, in regards to EMPACTs Mars Rover Design. This document will outline to
credentials of the 5M Space Agency team and discuss why the team is most suitable to build We Are
Number Ones Rover.
5M Space Agency prides itself on high standards of work and believe it can produce an above
satisfactory mar rover. Having reviewed We Are Number Ones Design Package, our team believes
the design is suitable for the clients desires and would complete the tasks adequately.
Our team has some concerns for the build. Firstly, the fabricated aluminium saddle clips. Our team
believes replacing them with prefabricated copper saddle clips would provide a simpler build for its
contractors and arrange a much cost effective approach. Secondly, 5M believes the structural
integrity of the tennis ball wheels will be inhibited and cause them to fail under load. Our team
suggests replacing the tennis balls with CDs for a structural wheel or sealing the gaps between the
tennis ball and axle to provide more support. Lastly, 5M believe the budget of the rover is to large
and suggest reducing the amount of wasted materials or opting for recycled materials.
Among the criteria, We Are Number One states candidates must have prior experience in building
and construction. 5M Space Agency possess a wide variety of skills, ranging from high school
woodwork and metalwork classes, through to helping with home renovation projects and trade
store expertise. Whilst the team can show many examples of projects, 5M Space Agency has
provided evidence of two significant projects members have completed. The first, a counter lever
camera mount that can be attached to helmet or surface, via an adhesive mount. The second, the
assembly of an ikea shelving unit.
Secondly, understanding of the plans is crucial to the success of the project. 5M Space agency
ensures that all members of the build team have a full understanding, by conducting regular
meetings to examine the plans. Additionally, one of the teams contractors has previous experience
with writing trade quotes, which required a full understanding on analysing and interpreting plans.
Furthermore, experience in woodwork and metalwork are important skills require for the task. All
members of 5M Space Agency have completed, a minimum of, year 8 high school in both woodwork
and metalwork, whilst some have further progressed knowledge with continued experience. 5M
Space agency have provided evidence of some of our members work, including an outdoor couch,
some wooden shelves in a shed, a plane frame wine holder, and a rewelded gate hinge.
Lastly, We Are Number One require the contracting team to have certification of woodworking and
metalworking skills. Whilst no members of 5M Space Agency possess such certification, one member
has evidence of year 10 woodwork level expertise and all remaining member possess year 8 level
expertise.
5M Space Agency has full belief in its members capabilities and expertise and guarantee the mars
rover will be built to the highest standard in the desired time frame.

1.0 Introduction
This document contains 5M Space Agencys tender submission, in regards to the EMPACT Mars
Rover Project. This document is composed in response to We Are Number Ones criteria as defined
in document We Are Number One Stage 1 Design Package, Developed in relation to EMPACT brief.
2.0 Design Package Review
5M Space Agency prides itself on providing a high quality of work. To do so, our company relies
heavily on the understanding of the design package. In this section of the application, our team will
demonstrate our understanding of the design with this analysis of the package.
2.1 Understanding of Design
The Design is based on concept of a mars rover. To fit the desired purpose, the car must be able to
carry a 600ml bottle of water, travel along an inclined plane and complete a drop and continue
undamaged.
We Are Number Ones design is suitable to these requirements with a design that is feasible to work
and, from first analysis, meets all build requirements. Firstly, with the body, it is constructed from
Premium Pine Wood sourced from Bunnings. The wooden construction offers a strong foundation
for the craft as it provides simple build techniques (e.g. cutting, fixing together) and is an abundant
building material, making suitable to build with. The wood also has an internal construction that
make it susceptible the sudden impacts, which is a positive feature for the drop in the design brief.
Moving on to the axle construction, the axles consist of 4, 4mm thick, Aluminium rods which provide
a strong, robust characteristic. As the axles, will be supporting most of the cars mass through the
testing, the aluminium contains metallic properties which allow it to absorb a lot of the weight and
impact. The rods are also simple in construction and relatively easy to source, making them easy to
transport and build with.
The wheels come in the form of 8 Tennis balls, 4 on each end and with one on the top and bottom. A
tennis ball is suitable as they each compress when bounced, i.e. shrink when they hit the ground.
These are perfect for sudden impacts, and work well with the drop phase as the balls will absorb a
large amount of the impact force when the car hits the ground. The balls are also easy to source,
making them an ideal material for the wheel construction.
Lastly, the cargo transportation system, consists of a twine bag bottle holder and 4 aluminium saddle
clips. The twine bag, wraps around the bottle and is then tied to the saddle clips, attaching it to the
wooden body. It is a suitable cargo bay as the twine bag holds the bottle securely and the elastic
nature allows it to conform to the shape of the bottle. The elastic bands that hold the twine bag
inside the craft allowing it to move freely, creating a natural damping system which can absorb some
of the landing impact. The twine and elastic bands are abundant materials and are relatively
inexpensive, making them perfect for the task at hand.
2.2 Client Brief Compliance
The clients design calls for a rover that can carry a 600ml water bottle (250mm x 70mm) down a 2-
metre slope before dropping through a 1 metre vertical drop and lading safely on the ground with
little to no damage. The craft must also not have a footprint bigger than a standard A3 piece of

2.3 Concerns and Solutions
5M Space Agency has 3 concerns We Are Number Ones rover design. The first is the aluminium
saddle clips. It is a concern as they are required to be fabricated out of a sheet of aluminium at a
great cost. It is suggested that the use of prefabricated copper saddle clips is more ideal as they are
easy to source and can reduce costings to the final build. 5M believes that making this change be an
advantage to both the designers and contractors as they require little fabrication and provide a
larger profit margin to the client.
The second concern is tennis ball wheel design. It concerns 5M because tennis balls contain
pressurized air inside them and by drilling holes in them, the air would escape. Without this air, it
could cause the balls to lose their springy nature and result car crashing into the ground on impact. It
is suggested that either the tennis balls be replaced with a more solid material or the tennis balls be
resealed with glue after the axle has been put through. In the case of replacing, 5M recommends
multiple CDs glued together as they are structurally solid. By gluing multiple together, the wheels
would not only be stronger, they would be less prone to bending or breaking as they spread the
force over a larger area. If this is not feasible, then 5M suggests seeling the gaps between the holes
and the axles as it produce an airtight seal and keep some of the springy nature as the air would not
be able to escape.
The final concern is the budget criteria. In the clients brief it is stated that the rovers materials must
not exceed a cost of $30. On page 3 of the design package, a bill of materials is provided stating ht
cost of the car would be $25.93, as per the materials list summery provided by Curtin University.
However, on pages 4-7, a second bill of materials with the costings from the suppliers, states a final
cost of $56.64. It is a concern to 5M as the materials list summery is only to be used as a guide and
the final costings should be budgeted on suppliers costing. To reduce this cost, 5M suggests
removing the large amount of excess materials, such as the wood used for the body. One cost saver
would be to use one type of wood for all 4 panels, instead of two types. Another suggesting is to use
a cheaper type of wood, for instance using mdf board instead of pine wood. Another cost saver, as
stated above, is to use prefabricated copper saddle clips instead of aluminium saddle clips as it
removes to need for fabrication and the large excess of aluminium sheeting. Other small cost
cuttings like using recycled materials (such as twine and elastic bands) would also reduce the final
costing.
3.0 Tender Evaluation Criteria
Please note that in answering this tender, the criteria are written in Italics and 5M Space Agencys
response follow in normal text.
3.1 Previous Experience
Has a history of building projects
Has built many different projects over a long period and has the knowledge and experience
5M Space Agency has a wide array of construction expertise. Ranging from year 8 high school design
and technology, through to home build projects and renovations. The first sample is Appendix A.1, a
Counter Level Camera mount. The mount provides a steady image as the person moves around due
to the arms 50/50 weight distribution. This allows the arm to stay level with the ground always and
give a steady image. Its constructed from pvc pipe with a hole drilled in the centre attached to a 360-
degree castor wheel. The counter weight consists of magnets and is equal to the camera that hangs
on the other end. This build required precision craftsmanship to ensure both the weights were equal
and the balance point was directly through the arms centre of gravity.
The second sample is Appendix A.2, an ikea shelving unit. Whilst 5M did not fabricate the
components, 5M was required to assembly all componentry. The project is assembled by connecting
all the shelves to each upright by an interlocking bolt system. Special bolts were screwed into each
hole along the upright, 2 for each shelf on each upright. The bolts were then slotted into predrilled
holes in the shelves and an interlocking nut was attached through the underside of the shelf.
Both examples required 5M to follow set instructions very like the mars rover design. Our team
believes these examples show our skills in the best possible way.
3.2 Experience with Plans
Understanding and reading plans
Has a vast history where understanding plans were required to complete the task
5M Space agency believes that to produce the highest standard of work, a full understanding of the
complete design package is crucial. To ensure this happens, all the contractors meet on the Tuesday
the 4th of April 2017 to discuss all aspects of each companys design package. Both the minutes and
agenda, Appendix B.1, are evidence of such meeting.
Another unique expertise 5M processes, is one of its members (Jonathan Rayfield) has worked for a
building trade store supplying building quotes to contractors. As part of that task, Mr Rayfield was
required to analysis house plans and interpret the details to supply the builder with the correct
products. His Resume is attached in Appendix B.2.
3.3 Woodwork Knowledge
Woodwork Expertise
Has done a lot of wood work over a long period of time and has hobby for it
5M Space Agency prides itself on its practical woodworking skills. All members of the team have
completed several year 8 level projects, some going on to higher skilled projects, like home
renovations. The first sample, Appendix C.1, is a wooden outdoor couch. The couch is constructed
for prefabricated pine components held together with 12mm hex screws. The components are
assembled by screwing the hex screws into predrilled holes containing raw plugs.
The second sample, Appendix C.2, are some wooden shelves constructed in a shed. The components
are handmade, consisting of 3 mdf uprights. Each upright has holding planks screwed at each shelf
height with tech screws. Each shelf is constructed from 6mm mdf board, screwed into each holding
plank with two tech screws on either side.
In both examples, members of 5M Space Agency showed techniques that can be applied to any
woodworking project, which our team believes is useful for this mars rover.
3.4 Metalwork Knowledge
Metalwork Expertise
Has done a lot of metal work over a long period of time and has hobby for it
Like in woodworking, 5M Space Agency prides itself on its metalworking skills. Again, all members of
the team have completed several year 8 level projects, some moving on to higher skilled projects.
The first sample, Appendix D.1, is a plane frame wine holder. The holder is made of 6mm steel rod,
which was bent to form the curved shape, then welded to assembly the parts. The frame was then
spray painted grey.
The second sample, Appendix D.2, was rewelded gate hinge. The gate hinge broke away from the
gate post at the weld. The hinge was first cleaned of all the old welding solvent and sanded back to
have clean contact surfaces. The hinge was then rewelded and paint for cosmetic effect.
In both examples, members of 5M Space Agency showed techniques that can be applied to any
metalworking project, which our team believes is useful for this mars rover.
3.5 Certification
Certificate Classes
Has completed a certificate in metalwork and woodwork, both to a high level
Unfortunately, 5M Space does not have a member that meets the required certification required in
the criteria. However, one member, Aaron Tao, does have an A grade in year 10 woodwork, which is
5M best possible certification, Appendix E.1. All other members do have a year 8 equivalent pass
grade certifications.

Risk Management Plan
Group: We Are Number One

Likelihood or Consequence Severity
Frequency Low Minor Moderate Major Critical
Almost Certain High High Extreme Extreme Extreme
Likely Moderate High High Extreme Extreme
Possible Low Moderate High Extreme Extreme
Unlikely Low Low Moderate High Extreme
Rare Low Low Moderate High High

Severity Scale:
An example of a risk for each of the above listed severities which have been
scaled for use on this assignment are as follows:

Critical: An event which causes major injury to a person, with long lasting
consequences for them
Major: An event which results in a fail of the assignment due to a major breach of
specifications in the client brief
Moderate: An event which causes a loss of some marks through lowering of
quality of some aspect of the project, or an event which causes some sort of
moderate to minor injury to a person which will not affect the person in the long
term
Minor: An event which results in a small setback in progress or a slight veering
off the path of how you wanted something to turn out, for example having to
spend more money than budgeted
Low: An event which would cause an extremely minor inconvenience, example
being a small argument wit a group member

Points Included in Gantt chart and Explanation of Such Points
Last edited: 31/ 03/ 17
The following dot points are vital components when considering the academic timeline of
group We Are Number One and must be communicated, coordinated and organised in a
logical, detailed and practical fashion, which will ensure maximum performance of the
group as well as ensure that all deadlines are met.
Assessment Items (from Principles and Communications)

Stage one design package: 17.5% - 11:59pm, Sunday 2nd April
Group Action Plan: 2.5% - Teaching week 5 (in workshop)
Contractors Tender Application (3a): 30% - 11:59pm, Wednesday 19th April
OR
Designers Tender Evaluation(3b): 30% - 11:59pm, Sunday 7th May
Handovers: Teaching Week 10
Weekly Progress Reports: 10% - Weekly submissions in workshop weeks three to ten
(inclusive)
Prototype Testing: 5% - Teaching week 11
Peer Presentation Feedback: 2.5% - Teaching week 11 (in workshop)
Engineering Identity Reflection: 10% - Teaching week 11 (in workshop)
Unit Reflection: 10% - Teaching week 12 (in lecture)
Oral Presentations: 12.5% - Teaching week 12 (in workshop)
Useful Points to Note
After tuition free week one, both designers and contractors should have some free
time in this course. A group consolidation and discussion of future tasks meeting is
therefore being held on the 23rd of April in the Curtin library to take advantage of
this spare time.
After teaching week twelve All assessments for principles and communications
wouldve been done so all focus can be directed to courses involving examinations.
This unit has NO EXAMS.
Our Gantt chart and subsequently organised schedule has been deliberately
coordinated to be have majority of the workload completed on week days. Louise
has fencing practise and tournaments on most Saturdays and Sundays and three of
the group members work both Saturday and Sunday. It is for this reason that this
units workload has been shifted to the week days.
All discussion and feedback meetings (labelled as blue items on the Gant chart) will
entail either the entire group, or the contractors or designers (indicated by the
portion of the table that item takes up) meeting at the stated location on the
indicated date and comparing their work they have completed for that particular
assessments. Team mates will then give feedback on each others work and give
constructive criticism as well as specific, measureable, actionable, realistic and
timely ways to improve their work. These meeting sessions will help every team
member enhance the standard of their work and subsequently add to their
achievements and benefits from this unit.
Breakdown of Specific Principles and Communication Assessment
Stage one design package:
- Drawings (25%): Allocated mostly to Louise (80%) due to her extensive experience in
the field of inventor software and converting ideas into electronic form. Sam S. will
also help finalise and design the final pages of the rover drawings (20%)
- Specifications (25%): Gurpreet will complete the entirety of this section, due to her
conceptual knowledge on the project.
- Risk Management Plan (20%): Ryan will address this section of the assessment due
to his critical viewpoint on matters and ability to pay close attention to detail.
- Tender Evaluation Criteria (25%): Sam A. and Nicholas will tend to this section due to
their practical and conceptual knowledge on the processes involved in constructing
the rover.
- GANTT Chart and Unit Plan: Sam will carry out this task due to his ability to
conceptualise team plans and formulate communicable tables.
Group Action Plan:
- Sam S. and Gurpreet will orally present this task to the workshop class, due to their
confidence in delivering public presentations.
- Louise, Sam A. Nicholas and Ryan will then compose the slide show and thoroughly
list each group members strengths, weaknesses, and the teams overall plan as to
how to mitigate such weaknesses. This plan will include specific, measureable,
actionable, realistic and timely goals that the group can achieve.
Contractors Tender Application (3a):
- Executive Summary, Design Package Review and Addressing the Tender Evaluation
Criteria, taken out as individual projects by Ryan, Sam A. and Nicholas due to their
practical knowledge on the requirements for construction and the risks involved with
such a process.
- Tender Evaluation discussion and feedback meeting will be held on the 5th of April at
the Engineering Foundation Year (EFY) studio.
Designers Tender Evaluation(3b):
- Executive Summary, Design Package review and Addressing the Tender Evaluation
Criteria, taken out as individual projects by Sam S, Louise and Gurpreet due to their
skills in design principles and the nature of their tasks completed during stage 1.
- Tender Evaluation discussion and feedback meeting to be held on the 26 th of April in
the EYF studio.
Handovers: Teaching Week 10:
- Contractors (Sam A. Ryan and Nicholas) will firstly hand over the completed
prototype design to their nominated clients.
- In following this our designers (Sam S., Louise and Gurpreet) will assess their
received prototype firstly as individuals (two-day period) and then as a group (during
an organised session with added agenda) to successfully tailor the contractors design
to their individual and collective interests.
Weekly Progress Reports:
- To be completed every Sunday night via Google dox to collectively add to a single
document and periodically alternate between team members as to who prints the
document for submission on Monday afternoon. Alternation of printing duties will
ensure the workload of this ongoing assessment is equally distributed.
Prototype Testing:
- The designers must bring the prototype on this day (Gurpreet, Louise and Sam.S).
- The contractors will bring their handover form (Ryan, Nicholas and Sam A.) in
preparation for the case that their designer team fails to bring the prototype.
Peer Presentation Feedback:
- The team will collective work to formulate the presentation and due to Gurpreet and
Sam.S doing the physical presenting component of the last oral presentation, two of
the remaining four members will physically present this peer presentation.
- Gurpreet and Sam.S will therefore work on the majority of the two (or more)
feedback sheets for the attended peer presentations (with other group members
providing Sam and Gurpreet with constructive criticisms).
Engineering Identity Reflection:
- This is an individual assessment. It is composed of three reflections on a professional
Engineering Institution technical event, a graduate panel and a senior panel.
- A deadline for these reflections has been set on the 19th of May so that discussion
and feedback meeting can be held in the EFY studio on this day.
- It is especially important in this section to make a point of clear referencing to avoid
collusion if group members do decide to share aspects or ideas within their
reflection during this discussion period.
- This pre-determined due date will enable the group to submit reports of a much
higher standard, and will enable them to achieve a high distinction in this
assessment.
Unit Reflection:
- As this assessment is held during the lecture, team members will not be able to
compose their response and then discuss with one another. The team has therefore
organised a discussion and feedback meeting on the 31st of May.
- This reflection meeting will help to improve the standard of each team members
response and will enhance their performance during the assessment in the lecture
theatre.
Oral Presentations:
- To provide a wide range and detailed view of the accomplishments and performance
of the group, each team member will recount their individual experience and
accomplishments and then collectively present these points.
- Group members will also include a section entailing their individual journey and how
EFPC has tended to and improved some of their weak-points and has allowed their
strengths to be put into practise. This will need to be completed BEFORE the meeting
period for the assessment so that members can provide criticism on their responses.
- No discussion and feedback meeting will be held for this assessment due to
abnormally increased workload from other subjects during week twelve.

3.2 SOURCING MATERIALS FROM SUPPLIERS

It is important to note that the sources in the following are recommended but not compulsory.
If the contractors find a supplier or product that more accurately fits the process, materials
and dimensions needed to create the Mars Rover Prototype they are encouraged to use them.
The following table also has several issues, the supplier is a potential supplier and link for the
Metal Rod and the Washer are there to give an idea of pricing using a similar product.
However, this product doesnt fit what is needed for our design. The contractors are
encouraged to find the product that fits the design in terms of dimension and recommended
material type. For the Metal Rod there is a link to an online supplier with dimensions that
more accurately fit the design but with an uncertain amount of feasibility regarding whether
this source is reputable. This is an issue because, unlike some other materials on this list that
do not fit the Dimensions Summary, both the Metal Rod and Washer cannot be manipulated
with tools easily to fit the dimensions needed for the final Prototype.
The references containing the links to online catalogues are at the end of the Design
Specifications in the Reference Table. The Elastic Bands do not have a reference as they are
easily sourced and available at most supermarkets and online catalogues fail to accurately
mention pricing. The straws are not on a catalogue and are free.

Total: $56.64
The total in the table is calculated barring alternatives and expecting that the contractors will
have to buy excess to get the quantity required in Dimensions Summary.
If the contractors use the online alternative for the metal rod the price is $58.56. This is
probably a more accurate estimate as the online alternative is closest to the right dimensions.
However, as Glue and Elastic Bands are common household items anticipating free or
recycled versions can allow the price to drop from $58.56 to $54.56.
Purchasing the wood as indicated above also gives you an excess of 12mm x140mm x
740mm of pine and 18mm x 140mm x 1580mm of pine. This is a large amount and as there
are several different contractors also building a prototype rover, if resources are pooled
together to purchase pine for more than one rover the cost can possibly be cut in half. Or the
excess can be sold after the needed pieces are cut. This too will possibly cut the price of the
wood in half. This can allow the total price to drop from $54.56 to $45.14.
Sourcing second hand or recycling twine will drop the price to $41.14 and recycling tennis
balls to $33.64. It is also possible to share the nails with another contracting team in need by
pooling resources and paying half the price. This will yield a total of $31.24.
As the price for the washer isnt accurate as the dimensions of the listed product is off, it is
possible for the total price for the washer to come down from $3.36 to possibly half that
amount $1.68 (this number is yielded from a cursory look at the Bunnings catalogue, where
the cost of a washer can be as low as $0.12). This will yield a total of $29.56.
Also recall that the aluminium if purchased from supplier as indicated above will yield an
excess.
Performing these and similar actions will allow the contractors to create a product that
complies to the client brief by costing less than $30.00.
If performing these actions consider the recommendations below.
3.3 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SOURCING MATERIALS AND STORAGE, HANDLING AND TRANSPORT

Member of We Are Number One to contact concerning tools, specifically where contractors
might source them: Sam Althrope and Louise Johnson (for tools not concerning weave bag).
Gurpreet Bhullar (for tools in connection to weave bag, the stiff metal bracelet and a weave
bag prototype may be made available to contractors).
4.2 TECHNIQUES
Techniques for using tools may be further explored by contacting the members mentioned
above. How to use the Drill Press and the Tap and Die in creation of the rover are explored in
detail in the construction method, these are specialist techniques. The techniques for certain
knots in creation of the Weave Bag which will hold the cargo are also explored further in the
construction method. The following construction method is however created with the
assumption that the contractors understand how to use a drill and hammer. As these are not
specialist techniques they are not explored in detail along with use of other less specialised
tools listed above in section 4.1.
5.0 CONSTRUCTION METHOD:

Legend: QC indicates Quality Check
5.1 THE FRAME

Preparing the wood to correct dimensions
1. Using either pencil or permanent marker, mark appropriate wood sections (if as
recommended, different dimensions of wood are bought so that width corresponds
one plank to drawing 4 and another drawing 5) to the dimensions mentioned in 2.0
Dimensions Summary for the left and right planks and the front and back planks.
QC The sections marked out should create planks when cut out to dimensions as indicated in
drawings 4 and 5
2. Using the hacksaw; saw the wood along the marks prepared as indicated above.
QC: There should be two pieces to the dimensions for the front and rear planks and two
pieces to the dimensions of the left and right planks.
After step 2 above, check to see if all vertices are at right angles. This can be done using a
ruler, protractor or Tri Square. Check that each edge created is straight by setting it on a flat
12
workspace and seeing if there are significant (10mm gaps) between each face and the flat
workspace. If there are, steps 1 and 2 may have to be redone.
Creating the Saddle Brackets
3. Using either a pencil or permanent marker, mark the Aluminium sheet to the
appropriate dimensions mentioned in the Dimension summary. Keep marking till
there are four sections to those dimensions.
QC The sections marked out must conform to dimension in drawing 11. When cut out the
result should be able to be manipulated into 4 saddle brackets by the method mentioned
below.
4. Using the hacksaw; saw out the sections as marked above.
QC: After step 4 above, check to see if all vertices are at right angles. This can be done using
a ruler or protractor. And check to see if there are curves along the edges by laying it flat
along the faces. There should be no significant gap (i.e. 3mm) between the flat workspace
and the aluminium.
5. Take one of the four pieces.

6. Find the centre of one 15mm edge and create a mark here. The mark should be at
7.5mm from either end.
7. Find the centre of the opposite 15mm edge.
8. Create a line from one marked edge to the other marked edge.
9. Find a point at 6.25mm from this edge along the 84.1mm edge. Create a line
perpendicular to the 84.1mm edge till you reach the opposite side of the aluminium
piece.
QC: The line created in step 9 should cross the line created in step 8. Using a protractor, it
should be confirmed that the lines are at right angles to each other.
10. Find a point at 6.25mm from the other 15mm edge by traveling along the 84.1mm
edge. Create a line from this point perpendicular to the 84.1mm edge till you reach the
opposite side of the aluminium piece.
QC: The line created in step 10 should cross the line created in step 8. Using a protractor, it
should be confirmed that the lines are at right angles to each other.
The intersection of these three lines created above should be the centre point of the holes
needed in the saddle brackets as indicated in drawing 11.
11. Using the vice clap secure the aluminium piece and then using a drill. Drill a 5mm in
diameter hole at each of the two points where the lines intersect created above.
QC: The screw for the saddle bracket should fit through comfortably.
12. Repeat steps 5 to 11 till you have created holes in all four aluminium pieces.
13
13. Take one of the four aluminium pieces.
14. Find a point at 14.26mm from the 15mm edge by traveling along the 84.1mm edge.
Create a line from this point perpendicular to the 84.1mm edge till you reach the
opposite side of the aluminium piece.
15. Find a point at 13.53mm from the line created in step 14 by traveling along the
84.1mm edge. Create a line from this point perpendicular to the 84.1mm edge till you
reach the opposite side of the aluminium piece.
16. Repeat steps 14 and 15 for the opposite 15mm edge.
QC: See drawing 11 and check dimensions accordingly. Use protractor to check if lines are
perpendicular to edge.
17. Using a plier placed along the line created in step 14 and twist so that metal is divided
into two sections at ninety degrees from each other. This is the first turn of the saddle
bracket as indicated in drawing 11.
18. Repeat step 17 for each next line making sure the direction the metal curves to create
the shape indicated in drawing 11.
QC: The resulting hole should be 9mm in diameter as per drawing 11. Check this by
resting the saddle bracket on a workspace and measuring the distance between the workspace
and the inner side of the aluminium.
19. Repeat steps 13 to 18 till four saddle brackets are created.
The Left and Right Planks
20. Take one of the wood pieces cut to the dimensions of the left and right planks.
21. Label one 230mm edge top and the other bottom.
22. From the right of the top edge measure a point 20mm along the top edge.
23. Mark that point.
24. From that point along the top edge measure 17.5mm perpendicular to that point
parallel to the right side.
25. Mark this point.
QC: Check whether this point corresponds with one of the holes for the saddle bracket in
drawing 4
26. Use the saddle bracket, put the centre of one of the holes at this point and align so that
the saddle bracket runs parallel to the top edge and the second hole is over the wood
at approximately 70mm from right edge as indicated in drawing 4.
27. Mark the location of the centre of the second hole.
QC: Check to see that the locations marked are at the centre of the holes in the saddle
bracket. Also check to see if the location of the second hole is 17.5mm from the top of the
plank.
28. Repeat steps 21 to 27 but replace top with bottom and left with right.
14
QC: The planks should end up with 4 marked dots with each pair at diagonally opposite ends
from each other.
29. Repeat steps 21 to 28 with second and last of the left and right planks.
Using a drill to create holes for the saddle brackets in the Left and Right Planks
30. Using a vice clamp secure one of the Left and Right planks to the workspace so that
one pair of marks (either the top side or bottom side) is easily accessible.
31. Using a drill, drill a 5mm in diameter hole from one side to the other side of the plank
pair at the marks designated in step 30 by accessibility.
QC This hole must be perpendicular to the largest faces of the left and right planks. By
placing one of the screws that will secure the saddle bracket to the frame through the hole
created should allow an assessment of the quality of the hole created.
32. Reorient the Plank to access the other marks and repeat step 31 and associated QC.
33. Repeat step 30 to 32 for the second and last of the Left and Right planks.
Securing the Saddle Brackets to the Left and Right Planks
34. Orient the two left and right planks so that on the quadrants with holes created in the
last section are facing a quadrant without holes on the opposite plank as per the
isometric image in drawing 2_1.
35. Note where the saddle brackets must be and then attach the saddle brackets using the
following steps.
36. Align the saddle brackets with the holes created in previous section.
37. Attach the saddle brackets using screws and nuts as indicated in drawing 2_1 Detail
A. Put the screw through the hole of the saddle and the wood of the frame and on the
other outside face attach the nut (with the right dimensions for the saddle brackets) to
secure. Repeat for each of the holes for each of the saddle brackets.
QC: The result should have two pieces of wood which, when oriented with the saddle
brackets facing inwards, looks like the isometric drawing in drawing 2_1 where the saddle
brackets each face a quadrant of the wood opposite where there is no saddle bracket.
The Front and Back Planks
38. Take one of the wood pieces cut to the dimensions of the front and back planks.
39. Label the 100mm edges the length edge.
40. Label the 110mm edges the height edge.
41. Label the 20mm edge the width edge.
42. Starting at the centre of the width edge move upwards along the height edge 12.5mm
create a dot here with the permanent marker (resulting in a dot with centre at 12.5 mm
from width edge and 10mm from height edge).
15
QC: Test with a ruler by marking with a pencil the distance from the centre of the width edge
to the centre of the dot and from a point along the height edge 12.5mm from the bottom to the
centre of the dot. A protractor should show that these lines are at right angles.
43. Starting from the centre of the other width edge connected to the same height edge
used in 42 move downwards along height edge 12.5cm and create a dot there with the
permanent marker
QC: the same quality check mentioned above applies.
44. Repeat steps 42 and 43 for opposite face of wood piece.
45. Repeat steps 39 to 43 for the second and last wood piece cut to the dimensions of the
short edge.
Using the Drill press to create holes for the Axles in the Front and Back Planks
46. Place a safety piece of wood on the base of the drill press table so that drill doesnt go
through to the metal base when drilling.
47. Position the wooden frame standing up 2mm wide face in contact with the safety
piece of wood on the table and with one of the dots created in the front and back
planks section above touching the centre of the drill.
48. Drill a 5mm wide hole down till you reach the other end of the frame.
QC: The hole created should come out directly opposite at the dots marked on the other face.
49. Complete this same process (steps 46 to 48) for the other side of the frame where the
other dot is marked.
50. Repeat (steps 46 to 49) for the second and last piece of Front and Back planks.
Assembling the frame
51. Assemble the Front and Back planks and the Left and Right planks into a box with the
same height at all sides with the saddle brackets facing inwards. The Left and Right
planks should be sandwiched by the Front and Back planks so that the holes created
for the axles can be seen through. See drawings 1_1, 1_2, 3_1 and 3_2.
52. Secure box created in step 51 together with weights, masking tape, an extra pair of
hands or vice clamps.
QC: They are stabilised correctly they will not move if you put medium pressure similar to
that of nailing in nails with a hammer. Use the tri square to double check if edges are still at
right angles.
53. Choose one of the four edges where the planks meet to start.
54. Nail in one nail at a point 5mm inwards from the centre of the edge that is 110mm.
55. Nail in one nail at a point 5mm inwards from of the edge that is 110mm and 5mm up
from the bottom of that edge.
16
56. Nail in one nail at a point 5mm inwards from of the edge that is 110mm and 5mm up
from the top of that edge.
QC: The nails should go through the Front or Back plank and into the Left or right plank.
None should go through the holes created for the axles. Visually inspect if this is the case. If
visual inspection is not enough use the straw to see if it slides through without impact.
57. Repeat steps 53 to 56 till all edges are nailed together.
QC: The frame should hold on its own and not fall apart if left to stand.
Attaching the straws to the frame
58. Choose one of the four black straws.

59. Put a dab (one small 3/4mm in diameter dot) of pvc glue on the outside of the straw at
the edge near the outer opening that will go through the frame last. Push the straws
through the four holes that span from one edge of the frame through the other the
PVC shouldnt get into the inside of the straw but create a coating between the straw
and wood to secure straw to wood. Wipe off any extra PVC with a damp cloth.
QC: the straws should fit through the 5mm diameter hole without bending or taring and the
PVC should help it glue to the frame at one end only. This should be enough to secure it to
the frame.
60. Cut off excess straw using the scissors at ends so that inside the holes for the axel
there is the plastic straw and outside the holes there is next to no straw (1 2mm at
most).
61. Repeat steps 58 to 60 till there are no straws left to secure to the holes for the axles
(see drawing 3_2 for where holes for the axles are in the frame for where the straws
need to be secured.
5.2 AXLES
Preparing the Metal Rods
62. Cut the metal rods using pliers into sections as specified in 2.0 Dimension Summary
and in drawing 8.
Use Tap and Die to thread Metal Rod
63. Place the 4mm diameter axle into a vice to hold it in place, then place the die over the
top of the axle horizontally (essential to make sure it is completely horizontal), turn
the wrench so that it cuts into the steel axle and makes threads, every few threads
reverse the direction of the wrench half a rotation so that threads are cleared of steel
shavings, repeat this process until there are threads that go down to 70mm from each
end of the four axles (8 times in total). As indicated in drawing 8.
17
Finding Antipodes of the tennis ball sphere
64. Suspend a piece of thread with a small weight at the bottom, reaching the floor, in an
area without wind.
65. The point where the thread originates from must be fixed e.g. from the edge of the
desk the floor (which the weight touches).
Note: the weight can be anything appropriately small with a point that is clearly following the
line of the thread.
66. Place a piece of paper, and use masking tape to secure the edges so that it doesnt
move, under the weight and mark the spot the weight touches with a dot.
67. Move the weight up about 100mm from the floor by pulling the thread up but do not
change where the thread originates from.
68. Mark a dot on a tennis ball with permanent marker.
69. Put the tennis ball on the piece of paper with the dot on the tennis ball directly over
and touching the dot on the paper.
70. Move the weight down while not changing where the thread originates from
71. The weight should touch the top of the tennis ball.
72. Mark the spot the weight touches with a permanent marker.
These marked spots should be directly opposite each other
Alternative/QC: Using callipers to determine distances at opposite sides of the tennis ball the
points found should be the largest distance the calliper reads as it moves around.
73. Repeat for all 8 tennis balls.
Preparing the tennis balls:
74. Using the drill, drill 4mm diameter holes at the places where we used permanent
marker to mark the antipodes of the sphere (this will mean drilling at both poles of the
sphere.
75. Do this for all 8 tennis balls.
QC: if you put something like an appropriately sized metal rod through two tennis balls, the
rod should be perpendicular to the ground regardless of which point along the circumference
the tennis balls sit.
Assembling the Axles:
76. For the steps below use drawings 6 and 8 as a guide.

77. Place the threaded metal rods through the centre of the four straws in the frame the
rods should stick out of both ends of frame perpendicular to the Left and Right
planks. Make sure the lengths hanging out at both ends are relatively even.
78. Place one washer each through both ends of the four metal rods.
79. Follow the washer with the tennis ball with the drilled holes going through the metal
rods.
18
80. Secure the tennis ball by twisting the nuts (for the axles) over the threaded section of
the metal rods.
QC: the above instructions should create a frame that looks like drawings 1_1 and 1_2.
5.3 WEAVE BAG

Note: this section contains information on how the water bottle will be secured to the frame.
In the drawings section the weave bag is represented in 1_1 by placement of the water bottle
in the frame. This section is of importance as it gives clarity to that drawing and is important
to understanding the logic behind the design.
Before you start this section, you must be familiar with the following knots.
Knot A:
1. Fold a piece of twine in half.

2. You can think of a piece of twine folded in half as an elongated n one side forms
the curve of an n, called the loop end, and the other ends form the feet of the n
called a free end.
3. Place the loop end of twine under the bracelet as it lays flat on the workbench, the
loop end should be in the circle of the bracelet and the free end far away from the
loop outside the bracelet.
4. Fold the loop end down over the circle of the bracelet in the direction of the free end
without pulling on the twine.
5. Hold the two feet of the n that forms the free end together.
6. Put the end of the free end under the curve of the loop end and over the circle of the
bracelet.
7. Pull the free ends from where it is now over the circle of the bracelet away from the
bracelet till a loop knot forms around the bracelet.
QC: When you pull the free ends the loop is secure. It should look like a knot at the bracelet
with two separate pieces of twine originating from it. These two pieces should look like they
are equal length.
Knot B:
1. Two separate pieces of twine, each which leads in one direction to a free end and an
unfree end (this unfree end leads wither to Knot A or another Knot B).
2. Align so that free ends are together in one direction and unfree ends are in other
direction hold the pieces of twine together at the point you wish to create a knot.
3. Create a loop with both pieces of twine at that point when creating the loop be aware
that you can easily manipulate the strand at the free end (for this part you will treat
both free ends as one strand).
4. Take free ends from the feet (see terminology in Knot A) of the twine (these will be
held together; the free end is of both pieces of twine used to create the loop) put it
19
through the loop and pull through the loop (if the loop passes over the strands leading
from the unfree ends the free ends must be put under the loop so that it creates a
knot).
5. Use one hand to pull the free ends and the other hand (index finger and at the point
where the knot needs to reach) to stabilise the loop; guide the creation of the knot to
the point where knot must be at completion.
Set up for weave bag:
81. Measure with the ruler, and cut with the scissors, eight 1m long pieces of twine
82. Take four of the remaining 1 meter pieces and highlight with a bright and bold colour
(recommend pink, blue or green, not yellow) (this is if the twine is white or
uncoloured as recommended)
83. Fold all eight 1m pieces in two
84. Pick up highlighted piece of twine (or non-coloured piece, the colour is not so
important but that you alternate between coloured and non-coloured pieces, the rest of
the instructions assume you took a highlighted piece first) and do not disturb the fold
85. Take the highlighted piece and place the loop end under the bracelet and complete
Knot A
86. Use black permanent parker to place guiding marks (lines to indicate distance from
bracelet) on this twine, at 25mm from the bracelet, when twine is laid out straight,
then marks at 25mm from the previous mark till twine ends
87. These will be the guiding threads (two feet ends of twine originate from the from
the knot are marked as per step 66)
88. Knot (step 65) the other folded pieces on the bracelet alternating between highlighted
and non-coloured pieces of twine
89. Tear a 2cm wide and 29.7cm long piece of paper from a page
90. Move the knots on the bracelet so that four knots are on one side and four on the other
91. Place the piece of paper under the bracelet so that the knots are divided by the paper
and the centre of the paper is approximately the centre of the bracelet
92. Using masking tape secure the paper to the bracelet on top of the paper
93. Fold the paper so that the outer flaps from the edges of the bracelet outwards meet to
form a triangle
94. Using masking tape secure this triangle
95. Using masking tape secure this triangular piece of paper to a desk and let strands hang
down. At this point it should look a bit like a wind catcher or wind chime
Make sure the desk you are using is a low desk and that it is in a location where it is ok to sit
on the floor to make the knots you need to. You may be able to find an alternative to this
recommended arrangement. You will be able to change the orientation of the bracelet by
changing the side of the top of the triangular piece that is secured to the desk.
96. Spread out the knots so that the free strands fall equidistant from each other (this step
does not have to be exact but estimated
20
Weave:
97. Use the guiding thread to start the weave, separate the two ends of twine starting at
the Knot A that we created at the bracelet.
98. Do the same for the Knot A adjacent to the one you worked on in step 78
99. Keep hold of the two inner pieces of twine (the inner pieces of twine refers to the
closest to the other knot that it does not originate from out of the two knots identified
in step 97 or step 98)
At this point you should have a piece of twine originating from one Knot A and a piece of
twine originating from the Knot A adjacent to it.
100. Create Knot B with these two pieces. Make sure that the knot is somewhere
near the guiding mark from the top, also make sure that the knot you create is same
distance from the knots in step 97 and step 98
101. Use this as a guide for how distant the knot needs to be from the bracelet and
moving around the bracelet create the first row using the next two pieces of twine
originating from different knots till you complete the first row. Use the instructions 97
to 100 to do this
102. Use the same method in 97 to 101 to create the next row but instead of Knot
As being the knot that the pieces of twine originate from it is the previous row of
Knot B
21
Remember: using the highlighted thread as an example the threads should create an away
knot (a knot with a combination of non-coloured and highlighted twine) before creating a
home knot in the next row (i.e. create a knot where a highlighted thread would combine
with a highlighted thread and where a non-coloured thread would combine with a non-
coloured thread) to picture what is happening to the twine falling from Knot A, it should zig
zag away and back from its original position creating alternate away and home knots.
(See picture above; the section with the blue paper.)
103. Keep creating rows as per step 102 till you create 13 rows
QC: The weave bag will start to look a lot like a basket-ball net as the rows are created if
there is nothing inside it.
104. At this point you will need a water bottle to the dimensions of the one that will
be used in the testing stage (210mm height and 70mm diameter). It is recommended
that the one that will be used in the testing stage is sourced
105. Pull the water bottle into the weave bag from the bottom so that the top (where
the bracelet lies) is level with the lid. Check to see if there are enough rows. The rows
should be enough so the weave bag cover the water bottle with one row spare to fold
into the centre of the water bottle at the bottom and meet. If this is so do not continue
to make rows. Otherwise keep going till there are enough rows.
106. When finished take the paper holder off the
107. Remove the weave bag from the bracelet by cutting one section twine from
each of the Knot As at the bracelet. After cutting the twine make sure you remake a
knot at the point Knot A previously was using the process for creating Knot B.
108. Taking one thin elastic band (<2mm) cut it with a scissors so that it forms one
line with two ends. At the top of the Weave bag weave the elastic band over one piece
of twine originating and a knot (that used to be Knot A) and under another piece of
twine originating at a knot and move to the next knot and continue till the elastic band
circles the weave bag at the top. Knot together the free ends of the elastic band using
Knot B (picture below of elastic band being put through top of e.g. weave bag, note
there is no twine).
22
QC: Tying Knot B should make the elastic band small enough in diameter to keep the water
bottle in the weave bag, but big enough so that you may stretch it to get the water bottle out
of the weave bag. You can also test whether the elastic band holds its shape well by sliding a
glass into the weave bag and turning it upside down. The glass should not fall out.
109. Now that the opening is secured the attention should be at the other end of the
weave bag. With a water bottle inside the bag turn the bag upside down and set so that
the water bottle is standing on its lid. At the bottom of the weave bag there will be
eight knots and extra twine originating at these knots. Tie the twine originating at
knots at opposite ends together using Knot B so that with four knots the bag closes
around itself.
110. Cut the excess pieces of twine off so that from the final knots created there is
only 25mm of extra twine. Do not cut near the final knots.
QC: The water bottle should not slip out from the bottom of the bag if held from the elastic
band at top. Note: Picture of a prototype weave bag around a water bottle below (the threads
are not twine).
5.4 SECURING WEAVE BAG TO FRAME

QC: The bottle and the weave bag should fit snuggly within the frame as indicated in drawing
1_1.
111. Place the bottle and weave bag in frame as indicated in drawing 1_1.
23
112. Using an Elastic Band (2mm 5mm width) that has been cut so that it has two
ends secure the closest piece of twine in the weave bag to one saddle bracket to that
saddle bracket by looping the Elastic Band around the saddle bracket and the piece of
twine then completing knot B with the free ends. (This knot should be quite close to
the saddle bracket and twine and there should not be much give in the elastic band)
113. Repeat step 112 to secure all saddle brackets to nearest piece of twine around
weave bag
QC: When the water bottle is pressed with one hand, it should not be able to reach the
workspace on which the rover rests. However, there should be about 5mm 10mm of give in
the elastic bands securing the weave bag to the frame but no more. This is to ensure when the
rover drops the final distance there is some give however there should not be enough give to
allow the weave bag to extend enough to allow the cargo to reach the ground.
QC: The rover should look like Drawing 1_1.
6.0 QUALITY TESTING

Check final rover for compliance with client needs.
Tick of the following checklist:
Checklist (criteria) Tick if it complies:
Check if capable of carrying cargo (ease of access by placing water

bottle in wave bag and removing it)
Check if cargo is capable of being assessed remotely (remain 1m

distant and see if cargo is visible)
Check if capable of freewheeling (roll rover over 1m flat secure

location, check to see if the Metal Rod moves in the frame where
the straws are)
Check to see if footprint fits in A3 paper
Use ruler to check if height is less than 210mm (Check if

dimensions of rover comply with drawings, if it complies with
drawings and height is less than 210mm it should comply to client
brief)
Check to see if there are 4 axles (we need at least 2 to pass client
brief)
24
Check to see if contractors have taken recommendations above and
sourced materials to less than $30.00
3D printing less than 25% of cost N/A

Severity Scale:
An example of a risk for each of the above listed severities which have been
scaled for use on this assignment are as follows:

Critical: An event which causes major injury to a person, with long lasting
consequences for them
Major: An event which results in a fail of the assignment due to a major breach of
specifications in the client brief
Moderate: An event which causes a loss of some marks through lowering of
quality of some aspect of the project, or an event which causes some sort of
moderate to minor injury to a person which will not affect the person in the long
term
Minor: An event which results in a small setback in progress or a slight veering
off the path of how you wanted something to turn out, for example having to
spend more money than budgeted
Low: An event which would cause an extremely minor inconvenience, example
being a small argument wit a group member

Tender Evaluation
WE ARE NUMBER ONE
Introduction
The purpose of this Tender Evaluation is to determine the most suitable group of contractors
to assemble the rover, based off the provided designs. Through a series of scored questions
and by grouping the most competent applicants together, it becomes evident whom will be
selected. These questions are designed to assess the contractors' skills, ability and their 'value
for money'.
1) Costing
Costing is dependent on the contractors' access to materials, and their charge per unit
of labour. It should be noted that the client is eager to minimise any costs associated
with construction, so that profit can be maximised from the final product.
Incorporating recycled materials in the final design will further reduce the cost, so it is
highly desirable that the contractor intends to do so.
2) Criteria
- It is required of the contractor to have a history of building projects, as well as reading and
understanding building plans
o To have a history of building projects is imperative, as it allows the contractor to apply their
experience and ultimately produce a final product of a significantly higher standard than a
contractor with little to no experience.
o Experience with comprehending plans and methodologies is also highly desirable. Such
experience will result in the design perfectly translating into a functioning example.
o Poor knowledge and lack of experience can potentially place contractors at risk, as they will
not know how to correctly conduct themselves in the workshop nor will they be capable of
properly operating tools. Refer to the Construction Stage of the Risk Management Plan for
further explanations.
- It is highly desired that the contractor has a hobby of woodwork, metalwork and being hands on
o Having an interest and/or experience in Woodwork and Metalwork furthers the competency of
the contractors. These skills can be put into practice when constructing the rover, which will
again result in a much higher quality finished product.
- It would be preferable that the contractor has completed a certificate or class in practical work such as
Metal Work or Wood Work
o A Certificate serves as a justification for the claimed level of experience. Those with such a
qualification stand out against the rest, since their claims are legitimised by the certificate.

Overall - - - /18
3) Skills
- The contractor must be capable of safely operating the provided tools. Correct operation of
the tools will make the production process a lot smoother and faster. It should be noted that
incorrect usage of tools can be very jeopardising to the integrity of the process and potentially
place the contractor(s) in harm's way. Refer to the Risk Management Plan for a further
explanation of the risks involved with improper use of provided tools.

Drill
Pliers
Stanley knife
Tri-square
Screw driver
Tap & Die
4) Physical Health
Medical waiver for contractor work on the Mars Rover
I _______________________ understand that under my role of Contractor when working for We

Are Number One, I will be operating dangerous equipment such as drills, saws and hammers, and
understand that I am responsible for my own safety and well-being when using this equipment.
I understand what I am doing, and am able to operate any and all equipment/machinery in a safe
fashion, and if I am unsure at anytime about how to complete a component of the build, or feel unsafe
or unsure about operating any of the equipment, I will contact the Design Team, We are Number
One
Sign:_________________________________ Date: ___/____/_______
5) Conclusion
For a potential contractor to be considered for the task, they must score a minimum of 8/15
on the scored criteria, they must also score a minimum of 1 in all catorgories and produce
their signature on the above Medical Waiver. The client is looking for the highest quality
product, with the largest profit margin, and the best way to obtain these goals is by using the
best contractors as per this Tender Evaluation.
Points Included in Gantt chart and Explanation of Such Points
Last edited: 31/ 03/ 17
The following dot points are vital components when considering the academic timeline of
group We Are Number One and must be communicated, coordinated and organised in a
logical, detailed and practical fashion, which will ensure maximum performance of the
group as well as ensure that all deadlines are met.
Assessment Items (from Principles and Communications)

Stage one design package: 17.5% - 11:59pm, Sunday 2nd April
Group Action Plan: 2.5% - Teaching week 5 (in workshop)
Contractors Tender Application (3a): 30% - 11:59pm, Wednesday 19th April
OR
Designers Tender Evaluation(3b): 30% - 11:59pm, Sunday 7th May
Handovers: Teaching Week 10
Weekly Progress Reports: 10% - Weekly submissions in workshop weeks three to ten
(inclusive)
Prototype Testing: 5% - Teaching week 11
Peer Presentation Feedback: 2.5% - Teaching week 11 (in workshop)
Engineering Identity Reflection: 10% - Teaching week 11 (in workshop)
Unit Reflection: 10% - Teaching week 12 (in lecture)
Oral Presentations: 12.5% - Teaching week 12 (in workshop)
Useful Points to Note
After tuition free week one, both designers and contractors should have some free
time in this course. A group consolidation and discussion of future tasks meeting is
therefore being held on the 23rd of April in the Curtin library to take advantage of
this spare time.
After teaching week twelve All assessments for principles and communications
wouldve been done so all focus can be directed to courses involving examinations.
This unit has NO EXAMS.
Our Gantt chart and subsequently organised schedule has been deliberately
coordinated to be have majority of the workload completed on week days. Louise
has fencing practise and tournaments on most Saturdays and Sundays and three of
the group members work both Saturday and Sunday. It is for this reason that this
units workload has been shifted to the week days.
All discussion and feedback meetings (labelled as blue items on the Gant chart) will
entail either the entire group, or the contractors or designers (indicated by the
portion of the table that item takes up) meeting at the stated location on the
indicated date and comparing their work they have completed for that particular
assessments. Team mates will then give feedback on each others work and give
constructive criticism as well as specific, measureable, actionable, realistic and
timely ways to improve their work. These meeting sessions will help every team
member enhance the standard of their work and subsequently add to their
achievements and benefits from this unit.
Breakdown of Specific Principles and Communication Assessment
Stage one design package:
- Drawings (25%): Allocated mostly to Louise (80%) due to her extensive experience in
the field of inventor software and converting ideas into electronic form. Sam S. will
also help finalise and design the final pages of the rover drawings (20%)
- Specifications (25%): Gurpreet will complete the entirety of this section, due to her
conceptual knowledge on the project.
- Risk Management Plan (20%): Ryan will address this section of the assessment due
to his critical viewpoint on matters and ability to pay close attention to detail.
- Tender Evaluation Criteria (25%): Sam A. and Nicholas will tend to this section due to
their practical and conceptual knowledge on the processes involved in constructing
the rover.
- GANTT Chart and Unit Plan: Sam will carry out this task due to his ability to
conceptualise team plans and formulate communicable tables.
Group Action Plan:
- Sam S. and Gurpreet will orally present this task to the workshop class, due to their
confidence in delivering public presentations.
- Louise, Sam A. Nicholas and Ryan will then compose the slide show and thoroughly
list each group members strengths, weaknesses, and the teams overall plan as to
how to mitigate such weaknesses. This plan will include specific, measureable,
actionable, realistic and timely goals that the group can achieve.
Contractors Tender Application (3a):
- Executive Summary, Design Package Review and Addressing the Tender Evaluation
Criteria, taken out as individual projects by Ryan, Sam A. and Nicholas due to their
practical knowledge on the requirements for construction and the risks involved with
such a process.
- Tender Evaluation discussion and feedback meeting will be held on the 5th of April at
the Engineering Foundation Year (EFY) studio.
Designers Tender Evaluation(3b):
- Executive Summary, Design Package review and Addressing the Tender Evaluation
Criteria, taken out as individual projects by Sam S, Louise and Gurpreet due to their
skills in design principles and the nature of their tasks completed during stage 1.
- Tender Evaluation discussion and feedback meeting to be held on the 26 th of April in
the EYF studio.
Handovers: Teaching Week 10:
- Contractors (Sam A. Ryan and Nicholas) will firstly hand over the completed
prototype design to their nominated clients.
- In following this our designers (Sam S., Louise and Gurpreet) will assess their
received prototype firstly as individuals (two-day period) and then as a group (during
an organised session with added agenda) to successfully tailor the contractors design
to their individual and collective interests.
Weekly Progress Reports:
- To be completed every Sunday night via Google dox to collectively add to a single
document and periodically alternate between team members as to who prints the
document for submission on Monday afternoon. Alternation of printing duties will
ensure the workload of this ongoing assessment is equally distributed.
Prototype Testing:
- The designers must bring the prototype on this day (Gurpreet, Louise and Sam.S).
- The contractors will bring their handover form (Ryan, Nicholas and Sam A.) in
preparation for the case that their designer team fails to bring the prototype.
Peer Presentation Feedback:
- The team will collective work to formulate the presentation and due to Gurpreet and
Sam.S doing the physical presenting component of the last oral presentation, two of
the remaining four members will physically present this peer presentation.
- Gurpreet and Sam.S will therefore work on the majority of the two (or more)
feedback sheets for the attended peer presentations (with other group members
providing Sam and Gurpreet with constructive criticisms).
Engineering Identity Reflection:
- This is an individual assessment. It is composed of three reflections on a professional
Engineering Institution technical event, a graduate panel and a senior panel.
- A deadline for these reflections has been set on the 19th of May so that discussion
and feedback meeting can be held in the EFY studio on this day.
- It is especially important in this section to make a point of clear referencing to avoid
collusion if group members do decide to share aspects or ideas within their
reflection during this discussion period.
- This pre-determined due date will enable the group to submit reports of a much
higher standard, and will enable them to achieve a high distinction in this
assessment.
Unit Reflection:
- As this assessment is held during the lecture, team members will not be able to
compose their response and then discuss with one another. The team has therefore
organised a discussion and feedback meeting on the 31st of May.
- This reflection meeting will help to improve the standard of each team members
response and will enhance their performance during the assessment in the lecture
theatre.
Oral Presentations:
- To provide a wide range and detailed view of the accomplishments and performance
of the group, each team member will recount their individual experience and
accomplishments and then collectively present these points.
- Group members will also include a section entailing their individual journey and how
EFPC has tended to and improved some of their weak-points and has allowed their
strengths to be put into practise. This will need to be completed BEFORE the meeting
period for the assessment so that members can provide criticism on their responses.
- No discussion and feedback meeting will be held for this assessment due to
abnormally increased workload from other subjects during week twelve.
