Stair Climbing Wheelchair
The goal of the design project was to design a full-sized stair climbing wheelchair, source all the parts, and configure a BOM list/price breakdown. The second goal of the project was to then prototype a 1/5 scale model, and have it climb up and down a set of scaled stairs.

Front wheel lowers and raises by actuator to climb stairs with steady control
-
Chair tilts forward and backward for counter-balance while going down stairs
-
Project consisted of CAD drawings, Sourcing Parts, designing for manufacturability
