Introduction
• Problem Identification– To design and build a mobile parabolic food aid
delivery system (PFADS) that is able to launch a standard Food aid package (FAP) down an inclined ramp without falling off or over the ramp.

Criteria
• To design and construct a mechanism that would roll down the inclined ramp and launch the FAP successfully
• Be able to set up the device within a maximum of 60 seconds

Constraints
• Cannot exceed 18 in. x 18 in. x 18 in.
• No Prefabricated materials
• No Electric powered materials – eg. No motors
• No part of the mechanism can go into the “Piranha infested water”.
• Maximum cost of $20

Project Objectives
• To travel down the inclined ramp and clear a 6’2” wall
• Deliver the 4-3/8 in. x 4-3/8 in. x 5-1/2 in. package accurately
• Build an effective mechanism

Approach (Design Process)
• Preliminary Ideas
• Refinement
• Decision/Implementation
• Construction & Testing
• Final Mechanism
![Page 11: The Flying Uber Monkeys1 John Giesler Kristen Shimizu Engr 5 University of the Pacific December 3, 2002.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d6a5503460f94a4948e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Flying Uber Monkeys 11
Preliminary Ideas
• Pros– Cheap
– Simple
– Has a FAP holder
• Cons– No effective
mechanism
– Wheels are big
![Page 12: The Flying Uber Monkeys1 John Giesler Kristen Shimizu Engr 5 University of the Pacific December 3, 2002.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d6a5503460f94a4948e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Flying Uber Monkeys 12
Preliminary Ideas
• Pros– Cheap
– Simple
– Has a FAP holder
• Cons– No effective
mechanism
– Might not roll down
![Page 13: The Flying Uber Monkeys1 John Giesler Kristen Shimizu Engr 5 University of the Pacific December 3, 2002.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d6a5503460f94a4948e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Flying Uber Monkeys 13
Refinement
• Applied Criteria– Must be “cheap”, light and feasible– Must have an effective launch mechanism– Must use materials that are easy to work with– Must abide by all criteria and constraints
![Page 14: The Flying Uber Monkeys1 John Giesler Kristen Shimizu Engr 5 University of the Pacific December 3, 2002.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d6a5503460f94a4948e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The Flying Uber Monkeys 14
Decision/Implementation
• Why we Chose it– Feasible– Effective launch
mechanism– Stable and
Sturdy– Easy to work
with materials
![Page 15: The Flying Uber Monkeys1 John Giesler Kristen Shimizu Engr 5 University of the Pacific December 3, 2002.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d6a5503460f94a4948e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Construction & Testing
• Process and Results
![Page 16: The Flying Uber Monkeys1 John Giesler Kristen Shimizu Engr 5 University of the Pacific December 3, 2002.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d6a5503460f94a4948e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Construction & Testing
• Modifications based on testing– Used pipes to propel the launch mechanism down the
ramp instead of hot wheel cars
![Page 17: The Flying Uber Monkeys1 John Giesler Kristen Shimizu Engr 5 University of the Pacific December 3, 2002.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d6a5503460f94a4948e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

The Flying Uber Monkeys 19
Results/Discussion
• Disadvantages– Release mechanism did not
work each time– Mechanism did not go
down the ramp smoothly– Mechanism did not launch
• Advantages– Stable– Strong
![Page 20: The Flying Uber Monkeys1 John Giesler Kristen Shimizu Engr 5 University of the Pacific December 3, 2002.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d6a5503460f94a4948e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Suggested Improvements
• Enable the mechanism to travel down the ramp smoothly
• Add a section that holds the FAP
![Page 21: The Flying Uber Monkeys1 John Giesler Kristen Shimizu Engr 5 University of the Pacific December 3, 2002.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d6a5503460f94a4948e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Conclusion
• Final design met the project criteria and constraints and was not disqualified prior to competition
• Placed 27 out of 36 competitors
• Overall– Accomplished objectives of construction but
did not successfully compete
