Request for proposalWe were given a list of requirements and criteria for the mechosystemPurpose was to develop a system that accurately displays mechanical engineering to all audiencesEducate all members of the audienceLeave a positive impression on the publicEncourage interaction with audienceUtilize a 2.5 diameter ball at a specified speed

description

After the engine dissection, we decided to use engine parts in our mechosystem, to educate the public about machines they interact with every day, but perhaps take for granted.
