Additional thoughts



Thought process

Stability won’t be an issue in this case but the size is. This idea for the base seems to be suitable for the requirements given to us.


Thought process

Going over the pros and cons of the different concepts the two options to be considered are either three legs or four.

With three legs the amount of material being used will reduce but the weight has to be taken into account. As with this design there are three adjustable telescoping legs which will be suitable for rough terrain and the feet must have some sort of rubber feet to avoid skidding which is another factor which has to be taken into account.

These factors can also be applied to a four legged structure this part has to be discussed with the second member designing the base.
