E.M.A.S presents this summary of the tender for Interstellar Solutions design of EMPACTs Mars
rover. E.M.A.S has contractors proficient in the use of power tools and 3D printing in addition to
excellent time management and communications skills. As a result, the E.M.A.S team is confident in
its ability to construct the Interstellar Solutions rover to a high standard within the given time
constraints.
E.M.A.S is capable of meeting the maximum standards for the Time Management Skills criteria set by
Interstellar Solutions. E.M.A.S group members have consistently set and achieved personal goals on
a weekly basis, such as the completion of the risk management plan and design specifications. All
weekly progress reports have been completed in detail and submitted on time.
E.M.A.S has far exceeded Interstellar Solutions requirements for Communication Skills. The group
Facebook chat was created during the first EFPC workshop and remains active to the present day,
with members sharing a wide variety of useful information using the platform.
Similar to the Communication Skills criteria, the Team Management conditions have been met to an
exceptional standard. Two E.M.A.S contractors have been added to the Slack communications
channel created by Interstellar Solutions and a GANTT chart has been included in the appendix of
the report. This GANTT chart contains specific details as to what components of the cart will be
created and states the rover will be completed in no more than five working days.
E.M.A.S has demonstrated at least one contractor has sufficient experience with power tools and
another has sufficient experience with 3D printing, as is required according to the Experience with
Power Tools criteria. This experience was gained primarily through school woodwork and metalwork
classes in addition to some extra-curricular activities over time.
In the design package review E.M.A.S describes in detail the purpose of the design, materials used
and techniques used, demonstrating a clear and in-depth understanding of the rover design. All
questions were answered clearly and honestly.
The safety criteria has been met to the best of E.M.A.Ss ability despite two contractors being absent
at the time of the documents creation. The remaining evidence supporting the claims made in the
report will be emailed to Interstellar Solutions at the soonest possible date.
The E.M.A.S group possesses a variety of skills and abilities between the 5 members. For example,
contractor Brody Mellberg has used power tools extensively across a multitude of woodworking and
metalworking projects. Contractor Cody Lee has knowledge of 3D printing and has used a 3D printer
for high school projects and designer Benjamin Cook has proficiency with both power tools and 3D
printers which he has demonstrated in his ability to produce a prototype for the group. E.M.A.S has
excellent communication skills and teamwork. The group conducts official meetings once every
week and maintains consistent communication via Facebook. The group email is checked regularly
and messages responded to quickly and professionally. Group members are on good terms with one
another and concerns can be discussed professionally and without judgement.
E.M.A.S contractors understand the purpose and intentions of the Interstellar Solutions rover design
to the point where numerous concerns with the design have been identified and improvements
suggested. The improvements suggested by E.M.A.S contractors are intended to reduce costs and
complexity of the existing design, without compromising the design in any way. These improvements
include removal of the bottle holders underneath the chassis and replacement of a polyester strap
and buckle assembly with a simple Velcro strap. These improvements will benefit both groups
should they be implemented.
2
E.M.A.S hopes this tender will be favourably considered and believes Interstellar Solutions will be
making an excellent choice should they decide to accept our application. Our group has more than
sufficient evidence of meeting the criteria in addition to offering beneficial improvements to the
design. E.M.A.S looks forward to the possibility of working for Interstellar solutions in the future.

DESIGN PACKAGE REVIEW
The following document is a review of the Interstellar Solutions stage 1 design package. An
understanding of the rover design is demonstrated, compliance with EMPACTs criteria is
confirmed, concerns with the design are discussed and suggestions offered to improve the
design of the rover. This design package review is the work of Brody Mellberg

Understanding of design
The following refers to the drawings and specifications of the Interstellar Solutions Design Package
(ISDP). The design consists of a solid piece of MDF which acts as a chassis and foundation for the
other features of the rover. The cargo is strapped to two bottle holders on the underside the chassis,
with the bottle resting below the axle. This lowers the centre of gravity of the design and increases
stability by reducing the chance of the rover flipping over. Should the car flip over and land upside-
down during testing, the wheels are large enough to ensure the car will still be supported on 4
wheels and 2 axles. Blocks at each end of the bottle (ISDP drawing 004) prevent the bottle from
sliding parallel to the direction of the cars movement and curved pieces of MDF (ISDP drawing 005)
house the bottle in order to prevent sideways movement. Polyester straps are screwed into the MDF
platform to keep the bottle flush to the underside of the bottle holders. The end blocks and bottle
holders are superglued and screwed into the MDF platform. All components being superglued
together must be held still for 30 seconds to allow the glue to set (ISDP page 17, 3.4.1.5 Wheel
assembly). Foam pool noodles line the circumference of MDF wheels to provide shock absorption
and the wheels are secured by 2 nuts and a special 3D printed wheel nut with 4 screws through it. 4
screws are used on each wheel (ISDP drawing 011) but this is unnecessary and needlessly
complicates the design. The materials selected are solid and the design is sturdy. The final product is
unlikely to sustain any damage and is more than capable of enduring the force of impact without any
need for a complex suspension system. However, the strength of the axle holders is questionable
and breakages may occur upon a sudden impact. Screws have been used extensively - in
accompaniment with superglue in the case of the bottle holders, to ensure maximum support and
stability. 3D printing is used to save time, money and effort on the wheel nuts and axle holders as
these are complex components.
Client Compliance
EMPACT requires the rover to be capable of rolling straight down a 2 metre slop unassisted before
falling off a 1 metre drop. The rover must survive the impact without sustaining any significant
damage. Interstellar Solutions design appears capable of meeting this criteria. The wheels are on
the same axle and do not rotate independently, ensuring the rover rolls down the ramp in a straight
line. The solidity of the design in combination with the padding on the wheels ensures that no
significant damage will be sustained by the vehicle. The cargo is adequately secured thus will survive
the fall unscathed. The cargo is able to be seen from a distance, yet the wide MDF base and large
wheels prevents viewing of the cargo from above. The physical dimensions of the rover are within
the limitations set by EMPACT, the footprint being smaller than an A3 sheet of paper and the height
being only 170 mm. The rover has 2 axles and the 3D printed cost is only 16% of the total theoretical
cost of $26.29 (page 15, 3.3 Bill of Materials). On the day of testing, it will be possible to place the
cargo in the rover without the need for complex assembly. In summary, the Interstellar Solutions
rover satisfies all criteria set by EMPACT.
5
Concerns, issues and suggestions
One concern E.M.A.S has with the design of Interstellar Solutions car is the abundance of screws,
evident in ISDP drawing 010. The following refers to appendix F.1. In the case of the wheels, the
screws and wheel nut (6) are not necessary. Replacing the wheel nut (6) with a simple washer and
securing the wheel by tightening the nut will be sufficient to hold the wheel in place. This eliminates
the need for 4 3D printed parts and 16 screws, saving costs and reducing the complexity off the
design. These suggested improvements would make the rover easier to construct.
The rover makes use of 3D printed axle holders. The concern is with Interstellar Solutions
instructions to secure the axle holder to the wood with screws. Screwing ABS plastic with metal
screws may compromise the structural integrity of the axle holder, especially if the axle holders did
not have a higher infill. Printing the axle holders with a higher infill will make them more solid as
opposed to being partially filled with a plastic lattice. Although this may make the axle holders fit for
use, costs would be greatly increased. E.M.A.S suggests using at least 50% infill ABS and the
increased cost can be countered by not using 3D printed wheel nuts.
E.M.A.S proposes the removal of the bottle holders completely from the design. The bottle holders
are made of MDF and are intended to provide a housing for the bottle to prevent movement once
strapped in. However, the bottle holders introduce an element of complexity to the design as they
need to be secured to the chassis with both screws and superglue (ISDP page 16, 3.4.1.3 Chassis
Assembly). Furthermore, the strap needed to secure the bottle in place needs to be screwed to the
chassis and the strap buckles need to be purchased separately (ISDP page 15, 3.3 Bill of Materials).
E.M.A.S suggests removal of the bottle holders entirely, instead 2 pairs of parallel slits will be made
in the MDF chassis near each end of the bottle. Through each slit a Velcro strap will be threaded. The
straps will hold the bottle flush against the underside of the chassis and their strength will be
sufficient to prevent any sideways movement. This eliminates the need for between 8 and 10 screws
and 2 bottle holders. The 2 Velcro straps will cost less than 2 polyester straps with buckles, and the
removal of the MDF bottle holders further reduces costs.
As a final concern, there are materials being wasted on the bottle end blocks. These blocks could
easily be halved in height with no consequence, and would only need 2 screws to secure them as
opposed to 3. Halving the height of each block means only a single block needs to be purchased and
2 less screws need to be bought.
A diagram showing these changes is located in appendix F.2. These diagrams are crude and
unspecific, and serve only to demonstrate what the suggested changes may look like.

ADDRESSING THE TEC
This document was created with the purpose of demonstrating E.M.A.Ss ability to meet all
criteria set by Interstellar Solutions. The addressing of the TEC is the work of Brody Mellberg.

Time Management Skills
All contractors can provide proof of having set and achieved at least three weekly deadlines that are relevant to
the EFPC unit. Contractors must also provide proof of having handed in all weekly progress reports on time.
The Elon Musk Appreciation Society prides itself on its dedication to achieving deadlines and
superior time management skills. EMAS has submitted a complete and detailed weekly progress
report every week without fail. All weekly progress reports are attached in appendix A. In WPR week
3 (appendix A.1) a goal is set by contractors Brody Mellberg and Fardeen Nishad to complete the
Risk Management Plan by the following week. This deadline is met as evidenced by the week 4 WPR
(appendix A.2). This risk management plan needed to be finalised, revised and compiled into a single
document, which was accomplished by Brody as evidenced by the week 5 WPR (appendix A.3).
Contractor Cody Lee stated in WPR week 4 that he would help finalise the TEC and assist with the
completion of the specifications . The deadline for this was 28/3/17, yet Cody managed to complete
his goal early. This is evidenced in the week 5 WPR, wherein Cody states he has finalised the TEC and
completed the tools and cost list, which were part of the specifications. E.M.A.S has been proactive
throughout the unit so far and completed all goals either early or on time. E.M.A.S has full
confidence in meeting Interstellar Solutions criteria for time management skills.
Communication Skills
Contractors can prove that they have created their own communication platform within one week of the first
EFPC workshop date (Before the 10/03/2017). It must also be proved that at least five messages that are
relevant to the EFPC unit have been sent along this communication network each week since its creation
When the option of face-to-face communication is unavailable, E.M.A.S makes use of a Facebook
group chat to communicate. This communication platform has proved efficient and effective, with
members sharing information (appendix B.2.0), suggesting changes (appendix B.2.1), arranging
meetings (appendix B.2.2) and providing progress updates (appendix B.2.3). It is through this
platform that many of the meeting agendas are arranged. The Facebook group chat was created on
1/3/17, which is well before the criteria time of 10/3/17, and will remain active throughout the
course of the semester. E.M.A.S is a very communicative group as all group members are now
friends, often discussing EFPC related topics outside of meetings. Issues can be raised and discussed
without fear of judgement and constant, productive communication ensures maximum efficiency
when working on the EFPC assessment.
Team Management
Contractors have produced a detailed GANTT Chart which includes information of deadlines, task allocations
and team constraints. This chart must be specific to the construction section of this project. Two contractors
must also create their own Slack account. Slack is a communication platform which will allow the contractors
and designers to communicate efficiently and effectively. One of these contractors will be the primary contact
who will be the sole contractor that the designers will communicate with online, the second constructor will be
the secondary contact, who will be contacted in case the primary contact is unavailable
E.M.A.S is an efficient and effective team, and this is partly due to excellent scheduling and a
thorough following of the group-made GANTT chart. The GANTT chart (appendix C.1.0) was made
early in the design process and has been followed faithfully to this day. The chart plans for the entire
semester, all stages of the EFPC assessment including construction and testing. A second,
construction-specific GANTT chart is located in appendix C.1.1 and applies exclusively to the
construction stage of the project. The chart assigns roles and deadlines for each contractor. E.M.A.S
believes the rover will be complete sooner than the 5 days budgeted. Contractors Brody Mellberg
8
and Fardeen Nishad have been added to the Interstellar Solutions Slack channel (appendix C.2). The
primary contractor, Brody, has used the service to ask several questions with regards to potential
changes to the design. Fardeen, the secondary contractor, has been kept updated on the progress of
the design changes thus can be relied on should Brody not be available.
Experience with power tools

At least one contractor can provide proof of the use of a Bandsaw, Jigsaw, Circular Saw and Power drill for a
minimum of ten hours per tool over the last four years. At least one contractor must also provide proof that
they have used an ABS 3D printer. At least one contractors must also provide photographic evidence of
themselves with the power tools, proving that they have access to the use of these tools.
E.M.A.S contractors have experience with power tools. Contractor Brody Mellberg has completed
year 9 woodwork and year 10 metalwork, wherein he made a multitude of projects including a spice
rack (appendix D.2), screwdriver (D.6), adjustable wrench (D.7) and decorative metal bracket (D.5).
These projects required the use of a lathe, drill press, bandsaw and belt sander in a addition to more
conventional tools such as hammer, saw and hacksaw. Outside of school, Brody has constructed a
kids cubby house (D.1), wooden table (D.3) and billy cart (D.4). These projects required use of a
power drill, hacksaw and circular saw. Over the course of a year in woodwork, a year in metalwork
and countless hours working on other projects, Brody has accumulated sufficient hours with power
tools to meet the criteria set by Interstellar Solutions. Contractor Cody Lee has used an ABS 3D
printer, as evidenced by his 3D printed step lifter in appendix D.8. Should either Cody or Brody be
unavailable, designer Ben Cook is proficient in both the use of power tools and 3D printing, as
evidenced in appendix D.9. Appendix D.10 demonstrates Brodys ability to access the necessary tools
with the exclusion of the bandsaw (as this can be located in the Curtin University workshop) and the
jigsaw, which is owned by designer Ben Cook. As clearly demonstrated, E.M.A.S has sufficient skill
with power tools and adequate knowledge of 3D printing, thus will be able to complete the
Interstellar Solutions rover to a high standard.
Understanding of Design
All contractors are able to explain our design and specifications in their own words, and are able to answer the
questions provided about our design and specifications in a very detailed and well thought out manner
E.M.A.S has a complete understanding of the design, including an understanding of why specific
materials and techniques were used. This is evidenced in the Understanding of Design section of the
Design Package Review, in which the design is explained in detail. E.M.A.S has contacted Interstellar
Solutions and received confirmation that the contractors had correctly interpreted the design.
Question 1:
Which part of the construction of our rover do you believe is going to be most challenging and why?
The assembly of the wheel and axle arrangement is likely to be the most challenging. The correct
installation of the wheels is crucial for the rover to go down the ramp in a straight line. The axles
need to be perfectly straight, all nuts sufficiently tightened and the axle holders printed at a high
quality. If the axles are crooked or the wheels not equal in size and shape, the performance of the
rover can be seriously affected. The wheel and axle assembly is also the most complex part of the
rover, more can go wrong here than anywhere else.
9
Question 2:
Which part of the construction of our rover do you believe is going to be the simplest task and why?
Creating the MDF chassis will be the simplest part of the rover construction. It is a simple rectangle
of MDF with 4 slits through the wood. Getting the edges of the chassis straight is simple as is the
operation of a dremel to cut the slits.
Question 3:
Which part of the construction of our rover poses the greatest risk to the safety of yourself and those around
you and why?
Cutting the wheels will pose the greatest risk due to the necessity of the use of a bandsaw.
Bandsaws are highly dangerous tools and careless operation of the machinery has lead to countless
injuries occurring, especially to the hands. In order to reduce the chance of injury, safety glasses and
gloves will be worn by contractors whenever a bandsaw is in operation.
Safety
Photographic proof of your entire contracting team wearing steel capped boots; Photographic proof of your
entire contracting team wearing safety Glasses; Photographic proof of one contractor holding a box of
purchased Latex Gloves; Photographic proof of your entire contracting team wearing Earmuffs; Photographic
proof of your entire contracting team wearing Face Masks; Proof that at least on contractor has completed of
a nationally recognised first aid course within the last two years
Although E.M.A.S is fully aware of any safety hazards that can occur during the construction of the
rover and operation of power tools, and although E.M.A.S will operate with safety as the number 1
priority, evidence for these claims is difficult to obtain. Currently all three contractors are separated
and only Cody Lee is in Perth. As a result, evidence of E.M.A.Ss impeccable safety precautions
cannot be provided until the construction stage begins. When the construction stage begins, the
photographic evidence will be emailed to Interstellar Solutions. Presently, a small amount of
evidence satisfying the safety criteria can be found in appendix E. Brody Mellberg has also obtained
an Applied First Aid certificate, which will be sent through along with the rest of the evidence at the
soonest possible date.

3.4 Construction
3.4.1.1 3D Printing Parts
Prepare the 3D printer to print ABS.

Print 4 copies of the wheel_nut.stl file provided in appendix iii, at a resolution of 100m and a 20%
infill.
During printing make sure printer is not disturbed and that the finished pieces are removed from the
printer base carefully in the way instructed by printer.
Check the final print for defects and compliance with the provided file.
Repeat and print 2 copies of the axle_holder_2.0.stl file provided in appendix iii.
3.4.1.2 Wooden Parts Preparation
Draw the wooden parts from appendix iv to scale onto the MDF board from.
Cut out traced blocks with the bandsaw cutting on the outer edge of the lines.
Mark the centre of the wheels and the centre of the circle for the bottle supports.
Use the compass to draw the wheels to diameter as shown on drawing 006.
Cut out the wheels by cutting around the lines marked with the band saw and then sand down to
the line.
Check the wheels for constant diameter using the Vernier, sand down wider any areas to create the
round wheels, drawing 007.
Drill 16, 1.5mm pilot holes 10mm deep into the chassis base for the axle holders as shown on
drawings 002, and 003.
Drill 1.5mm holes through the base 12 times as shown on drawing 001 and 009 for the bottle
supports (005) and bottle end blocks (004).
Countersink the 12 holes through the chassis by using a 4mm drill bit to drill down 1.8mm into the
existing holes.
Use the 70mm drill hole punch to remove the centre circle of the bottle support blocks and cut it in
half along the long side of the block to be left with the 2 bottle support blocks shown in drawing 005.
Drill 3, 1.5mm pilot holes 10mm deep into base of the 2 bottle support blocks (005) and the 2 bottle
end blocks (004), as shown on drawings 001, and 010.
Drill a 1.5mm pilot hole 10mm deep and 10mm from the bottom of both sides of the 2 bottle
support blocks.
Use the 3D printed wheel nuts (006) to mark the position for the screws onto the 4 wheels (007).
Drill 4, 1.5mm pilot holes 10mm deep into the 4 wheels (007) for the screws to mount the wheel
nuts (006) as shown on the drawings 005 and 007.
Double check all straight edges on the wooden pieces using the set square.
3.4.1.3 Chassis Assembly
Screw the axle holders onto the chassis base with 8 screws each as shown on drawing 002.
Line up the bottle supports and end blocks onto the Chassis as shown on drawing 002.
Use 3 drops of super glue on each to secure the bottle support blocks and bottle end blocks onto the
chassis and hold tight for at least thirty seconds.
16 | P a g e
Screw 2, 30mm screws through the chassis into each bottle support block and bottle end block
making sure the screw heads are flush with the base.
3.4.1.4 Cargo Strap
Take the polyester belting and cut into 2 220mm halves.

Screw one piece of the belting, 10mm from end, into the pilot hole of either side of the bottle
support block and do the same for the other piece of belting on the other side of the second bottle
support block.
Secure one buckle only (not with the clip) 10mm from the base of the chassis with 2 drops of glue
and then screw a screw through the base of the buckle into the pilot holes on the side of the support
block then do the same for the other support block.
Thread the clip for the buckle onto the belting to a point where it clips into the buckle with room to
hold the bottle tight.
Check the strap under tension to test for weaknesses and fix any weaknesses found accordingly
without compromising design integrity.
3.4.1.5 Wheel Assembly
Tap the wheel nuts with an M6 thread to fit the axle.

Centre and screw the wheel nuts (006) onto the 4 wheels with 4 screws each as shown in drawing
001, 002 and 011.
Cut 8, 19mm thick rings off the end of the pool noodle and cut all rings once to form long strips.
Glue 2 strips around each wheel using only a thin line of super glue and hold in place for at least 30
seconds.
If there are any gaps around the circumference of the wheels cut a small piece of foam from the
noodle to fit and glue it in using a small drop of glue and holding for 30 seconds.
Check all the foam around the wheels, if any is loose use another drop of glue and hold once again
for at least 30 seconds.
Cut the threaded rod in half with a hacksaw to form the 2 axles 220mm in length.
Place the axles through the axle holders and centre them before screwing on 2 lock nuts onto each
axle on either end with 1mm between the nuts and the axle holder edge as shown in drawings 002
and 011.
Screw on another lock nut onto each end of each axle so that there is a 2mm gap between the end
of the nut and the end of the chassis base as shown in drawing 002.
Thread the wheels with their nuts onto the axle and tighten up against the outer lock nuts as shown
in drawings 002 and 011.
Thread another lock nut onto the end of the axle and tighten against the wheel nut as shown in
drawings 002 and 011.
Check that none of the wheels are loose, if so tighten the nuts around the wheel nuts to ensure a
tight fit.
Check that the axles spin with the connected wheels and that the connected wheels spin together.
One final check over the unit is to be done to check compliance with the design specifications and
the clients specifications.

5 Tender Evaluation Criteria
5.1 Introduction:
Interstellar Solutions prides itself on producing products on time and to a high standard. To enable this, we
only hire contractors that meet certain criteria that mitigate the risk of a failure to construct a high quality
rover. This document lists the criteria that potential contractors are assessed against. It is in your best
interest to meet as many of these criteria as possible, as they are how we decide which contractors are most
suitable for the construction of our design. Each criteria has a different weighting, but overall, the maximum
score any group of contractors can receive is 100 points.
5.2 Time Management Skills (20 points):

Proving to us that you have handed in all your weekly progress reports on time, and that you have regularly
set and achieved your own weekly project deadlines which are relevant to the EFPC unit, exemplifies your
time management skills. They also epitomise the values of hard work and dedication that we at Interstellar
solutions are expecting of you. This skill displays that not only are you- as contractors more likely to
construct our design within the project timeframe, but you are more likely to construct our design to a high
standard and to comply with our specifications. Thus the risk of a substandard rover construction or a failure
to construct our design on time is mitigated.

Communication is paramount to the success of our project. By demonstrating that you have created your
own communication network, you are deemed more likely to communicate frequently with our group if any
help is needed, or if meetings need to be arranged. This is particularly important near the end of our project.
Such a skill will help produce a rover that is of a high quality, by reducing the risk of a poor submission due to
lack of discussion or supervision of constructors.

Team management and preparation is key to the success of Interstellar Solutions and of the contractors. By
providing detailed and well thought out GANTT charts for the construction side of the project, you are
showing you are prepared for the deadlines and commitments and are involved in this project. These GANTT
charts are expected to be much more specific and targeted than those produced in the Stage One Design
Package as they should be focused solely on a single section of the project.

Experience and access to the above power tools is of prime importance to construction of our design.
Regular use of power tools over the last four years, proves to us that you are capable of constructing our
design to a high standard and that during construction you are less likely to injury yourself. Thus reducing
the risk of a lower mark due to poor quality construction, but more importantly making sure you are less
likely to be injured during construction.

The Understanding of our design is crucial to the success of Interstellar Solutions and is necessary to meeting
the requirements of our client- EMPACT. By showing understanding of our design, you prove to us that you
are capable of not only constructing our design to a high standard but are also capable of overcoming any
issues or problems you come across during construction. You also prove to us that you are capable of
constructing our design with a minimal risk of injuring yourself and those around you since you know which
aspects of construction can lead to potential hazards if not completed carefully. This will reduce the risk of a
reduced mark due to any problems or mistakes that you face, but more importantly the risk of injuring
yourself or the people around you. The questions we will ask you may include the following:
Which part of the construction of our rover do you believe is going to be most challenging and why?
Which part of the construction of our rover do you believe is going to be the simplest task and why?
Which part of the construction of our rover poses the greatest risk to the safety of yourself and
those around you and why?
How would you ensure no warping of the 3D printed parts of our rover?

Safety comes first at Interstellar Solutions. The safety of you, as the contractors must be maintained, and all
practises that put you or other individuals in danger must be avoided at all costs. By meeting all the above
criteria, you display evidence that you are less likely to injure yourself during construction and that you can
come to the aid of another group member who has been injured during construction. You as constructors
are expected to use all the personal protection equipment above when constructing our design.

6 Risk Management Plan
6.1 Introduction
We acknowledge that with this project there are hazards and risks unique to each stage from design through
to testing that need to be proactively addressed and mitigated. This document addresses the main hazards
and risks for each of the design, construction and testing stages. These hazards and risks will be assessed and
the appropriate mitigation will be implemented to reduce these risks. These mitigations will reduce the
likelihood of an issue arising and therefore will improve the efficiency within the group and increase the
quality of the final product. Those in charge of insuring the mitigations are implemented are stated in the
document as well as a review of the residual risk.
6.2 Stage 1: Design
During the design phase, there are several issues that could arise if the appropriate measures arent taken to
reduce the risk of certain hazards that could arise amongst the design team.

23 | P a g e
6.3 Stage 2: Construction
This stage focuses on the possible hazards involved in the construction of the rover. It assesses the possible
hazards that the construction team will be faced with and the risks that are a result of these hazards. The
hazards in this stage of the document will be addressed in the tender document to reduce the likelihood of
these risks occurring as well as other mitigations to further ensure everything goes to plan.

6.4 Stage 3: Testing
This stage addresses the hazards that will be encountered by the company when subjecting the rover to the
test terrain. Measures need to be taken to make sure the test goes to plan.
