 Executive Summary
This tender has been written on behalf of Universe X Industries in response to the
requirements put forth in the design package of the company, Zanerobe Inc., who are acting on
behalf of the client EMPACT. This tender has been written in order to demonstrate to Zanerobe Inc.
that the contracting members of Universe X Industries understand the design and construction
methods specified in Zanerobe Inc.s design package, and are the most suitable of the three
tendering companies.

Collectively, the contractors of Universe X Industries have access to a wide range of tools,
including circular saws/jigsaws, clamps and bench vices, power drills and a wide range of drill bit
lengths and thicknesses, hacksaws and liquid nails, all of which are required for the building of the
rover in accordance with Zanerobe Inc.s design. On top of this, the contractors of Universe X
Industries have access to an organised, spacious workshop in which they can build the rover with
minimal risk and complication.

The contracting members of Universe X Industries all have at least a high school level
education in woodworking and design and technology. This provides all the members with a solid
base of knowledge in the use of hand tools, power tools and adhesives as well as various
construction and refinement methods. One member of this group has, with instructions and parts
provided, built a working, replica four-stroke engine as a school project, however it has since been
discarded, so no visual proof can be provided for this particular instance/. This does, however,
indicate that the member is capable of building a functional mechanism from drawings. The
members also hold experience in the interpretation of drawings through the construction of things
such as flat-packed furniture and models.

The contracting members of Universe X Industries have excellent communication, both

within the company, and when dealing with external parties. This is evidenced in the email
communication that has occurred between Universe X Industries and the 3 designers they have been
assigned to, as it has been both prompt and professional in nature. All members utilise the company
group chat, both for file sharing purposes, and to ask/answer any questions, related to both EFPC
and the other EFY units.

The contracting members of Universe X Industries have a clear understanding of the purpose
of various aspects of the design, and the materials that are used in the design, and are capable of
correctly interpreting both the drawings and the construction procedure in order to produce a high-
quality end product. If Universe X Industries is contracted to build Zanerobe Inc.s rover, should any
further questions arise, the group will not hesitate to ask for clarification, as the production of a
high-quality rover is of the utmost importance to the group.

The contractors of Universe X Industries understand the necessity of professionalism in an

engineering environment, and, while more relaxed and casual in discussions within the group, act in
a formal, professional manner when meeting with external parties. All members of the group
endeavour to be present and punctual at all meetings, and acknowledge that if they cannot attend
for any reason, they are expected to provide a valid reason prior to the start of the meeting.
Universe X Industries strives to produce work to the highest possible standard.

The above responses indicate why Universe X Industries is the most suitable company to
receive the contract offered by Zanerobe Inc. The contracting members of Universe X Industries

2
would like to assure Zanerobe Inc. that, if contracted, they will build a rover of high-standard that
meets the design as closely as possible, within the allotted timeframe.

1.0 Introduction
This document package contains UXIs tender submission for the construction of EMPACTs
Mars Rover Prototype. This document has been written in response to the criteria as defined by
Zanerobe Inc.s document developed on behalf of EMPACT.

2.0 Design Package Review

A design review has been completed to ensure that UXI have a thorough and complete
understanding of the project put forth by Zanerobe Inc.

2.1 Understanding of Design

Zanerobe Inc.s mars rover prototype design revolves around two main criteria; the first one
being that the prototype can withstand a 1 meter drop after rolling down an inclined slope for 2
meters without sustaining any significant damage. The second main criteria is to ensure that the
prototype also can land on at least one set of wheels consistently.

The rover design appears to comply with the above mentioned criteria, as the wheels and
body of the vehicle are built with plywood which is a very sturdy and rigid material. Also, aluminium
rods are allocated to the axles. Aluminium is a very strong metal and will definitely be able to
withstand any impact produced by the one meter drop. Furthermore, pieces of sponge are utilised
to create a form of suspension. These pieces of sponge will absorb impact upon landing which will
result in a smoother and safer landing.

Zanerobe Inc. have also incorporated large wheels relative to the body of the vehicle. This
strategy will allow the vehicle to land on 4 wheels consistently, as long as the rover does not fall on
its side.

Overall, the design is a well thought out and solid plan. It complies with all design constrains and if
built correctly, will be very strong and will do very well in testing.

2.2 Client Brief Compliance

The Client Brief calls for a design that is able to travel in a self-guided straight line for 2
metres, down a slope set to not less than 30 degrees. Following this free roll, the prototype will be
subject to a vertical drop of 1 metre, and must land and stay on its wheels. The design appears to
be in compliance with these criteria at it is a solid and sturdy build with large wheels as discussed in
2.1.

Furthermore, the Client Brief outlines that the cargo must be loaded onto the prototype
with no complex assembly required. Zanerobe Inc.s design complies with this restriction as their
design uses elastic bands to secure the bottle to the body of the vehicle.

The Client Brief also outlines dimensional constraints which say the entire footprint of the
prototype vehicle must fit within an A3 sheet of paper (420mm x 297mm), with no portion of the
assembly overhanging the boundary. The maximum height of any portion of the prototype is
210mm. The dimensions of Zanerobe Inc.s design outlined in Table 1: Dimension Summary, indeed
comply to the dimensional constraints.

 Component Value (mm)
Body width 100
Body height 100
Body length 300
Wall thickness 10
Wheel length 130
Wheel height 23

Lastly, the Client Brief highlights a cost restriction of $30 for the materials of the design. The
sum of the theoretical cost of the materials truly lie under $30 as it adds up to be $16.82, according
to Table 2: Bill of Materials.

2.3 Concerns and Solutions

Zanerobe Inc. have allocated plywood as the material for the wheels of the prototype
design. Plywood is a strong and rigid material which is good in some cases but it is not elastic at all
which means it will not absorb any impact. UXI suggest using 3D print rubber for the wheels of the
prototype, which is a slightly more elastic material, to lessen impact upon landing.

Furthermore, the construction method in the design package is quite puzzling as there arent
any references to pictures/diagrams and too many dimensions are used in the procedure when
referring to the pieces.

3.0 Criteria
In the following responses to Zanerobe Inc.s Tender Evaluation Criteria, the description of
the criteria as listed by Zanerobe Inc. will be italicised, and the response will be in normal text.

3.1 Experience
Experience using basic hand tools:
A requirement for the construction of the mars lander is experience in the use of basic hand
tools, this is a requirement as the construction process of this project requires the contractor to cut
wood and hammer nails among other tasks.

All contracting members of UXI have experience in using basic hand tools as they have all
completed woodwork and metalwork during high school. In metalwork and woodwork, we heavily
used a variety of hand tools such as hammers, screwdrivers, hacksaws, pliers, etc. Appendices A1, A2
and A3 are images showcasing the wood and metalworking abilities of the second member of the
team. Appendix A4 also shows another group member achieving highly in their woodwork course
which indicates their ability to use basic hand tools.

6
Experience in woodwork:
Experience in basic woodwork is a requirement for this project as a large portion of the
lander is made of wood, due to this, most of the construction of the lander requires working with
wood.

All of the contracting members of Universe X Industries have a high-school education in

woodwork. The first example, Appendix A1, is a picture frame, made by one member in Design and
Technology (woodwork), highlighting the woodworking abilities of the member. It should be noted
that this member has been involved in the production of other woodworking projects through
school, however they have since been discarded, so no proof can be given. The projects made in
woodworking by the third member were donated to a primary school upon completion, so the proof
provided for this member is in the form of a school report. This report reflects the members ability
to produce a high standard of work. This report can be found in Appendix A4.

Experience in metalwork:
Experience in metalwork is preferable but not necessary as a very small portion of the lander
is made of metal, the only work with metal required is the cutting to length of the axle, this should be
possible with a hacksaw.

All contractors of UXI have completed metalwork courses whilst attending high school.
Appendices A2 and A3, are a pair of images showcasing the wood and metalworking abilities of the
members.

Experience using power tools:

Experience in using power tools is a necessity as the construction of the lander requires that
the contractor can drill holes in wood using a power drill, other tasks could be completed using power
tools in place of hand tools to complete the task in a shorter time span.

All contracting members of UXI have experience in using power tools as they have all
completed woodwork and metalwork during high school. In metalwork and woodwork, we have
learnt how to use and become competent in using power tools such as circular saws, power drills,
electric sanders, etc. Appendices A2 and A3 are a pair of images showcasing the wood and
metalworking abilities of the team. Appendix A4 also shows another group member achieving highly
in their woodwork course which indicates their ability to use power tools.

Experience in 3D printing:
Experience in 3D printing is required for the design and construction of the mounts to hold
the bottle in place on the lander.

Contractor members of UXI are not able to provide evidence of 3D printing experience, but
one of the contractor members has 3D printed several small toys as his uncle has a 3D printer for
recreational use. At UXI, we have sharp and quick learning contractors so with the help of some
tutors and online resources, we will be able to achieve competency in 3D printing fairly easily.

3.2 Certifications
Relevant certification in woodwork/metalwork:
A relevant certificate in either metalwork and/or woodwork is preferable but not compulsory,
someone who has a certificate in either of these fields will be able to complete tasks quicker and with
a greater quality of work, they will also be more aware of the safety precautions that should be taken
when completing hazardous tasks.

7
 All contractors of UXI have completed metalwork and woodwork courses during high school.
Certificates were not given out for these courses but appendices A2, A3 and appendices A5-A9 also
show some projects the contractors built whilst attending these courses. These projects show that
our contractors are competent in the craft of metalwork and woodwork. Further evidence can be
found in appendix A4. This school report reflects the members ability to produce a high standard of
work. At UXI, all our contractor members have achieved competency in woodwork and metalwork.

3.3 Capabilities
Access to basic hand tools:
Access to basic hand tools is required as the construction of the lander requires the use of
hand tools to complete tasks as stated above, in 4.1.1.

The contractors of Universe X Industries have access to a wide range of basic hand tools,
including screwdrivers, hammers, hacksaws and pliers. Evidence of this can be found in Appendices
B1 through B7.

Access to power tools:

Access to at least a drill is necessary, access to other power tools is preferable but not
compulsory as they would only serve to complete the respective tasks in a smaller time frame.

The contractors of Universe X Industries have access to a wide range of tools, including
circular saws/jigsaws, clamps and bench vices, power drills and a wide range of drill bit lengths and
thicknesses, hacksaws and liquid nails. Evidence of this can be found in Appendices B1 through B7.

Access to a 3D printer:
Access to a 3D printer is necessary for the printing of the mounts to hold the bottle in
position on the lander.

UXI have access to the printer located at Curtin University which will be available for use to
all students enrolled in the EFPC unit.

Testing and Final Inspection

Testing should be done prior to the final submission of the Mars Lander. Ensure dimensions
comply to the drawings and secure components to be stable. The testing ground should be
replicated to provide an accurate result of expected performance. Testing should be done
with and without the cargo to see if extra load has a great impact on the free movement
and landing of the vehicle.

1 CONSTRUCTION METHOD

AXLE -
1. Cut out two 19mm x 19mm x 100mm wooden pieces. Using a 6.3mm drill bit, drill directly
down the middles of both wooden pieces when they are stood vertical.
2. Cut two length rods from the larger steel rod.
3. Push these rods through the drilled holes of either wooden pieces even amounts of rod
hanging from either side.

BODY
1. Using a saw, cut out two wooden pieces of dimensions 270mm x 100mm x 10mm from a
larger block of wood. Cut out also four more wooden pieces of dimensions 80mm x 100mm
x 10mm.
2. Place the 270mm x 100mm x 10mm wooden pieces on their 270mm x 100mm sides. On
the side facing upwards, shade all the area parallel 10mm from either end of the wood
pieces lengthways.
3. From the ends lengthways, of the 270mm x 100mm x 10mm wooden pieces, mark
straight lines 30mm from either end and lines 40mm from either end of the wooden piece.
Shade the areas enclosed within this space with a pencil.
4. Apply glue on the shaded areas of the wood besides one of the 270mm x 100mm x 10mm
pieces. With the large 270mm x 100mm wood piece facing upwards, place the smaller wood
cutouts to their corresponding places (the 10mm x 100mm pieces side face on the 10mm x
100mm shaded areas). Use a clamp to hold these pieces firmly down while they dry. Allow
at least 30 minutes.
5. Once completely dry, turn the piece so that the 270mm x 100mm face is facing upwards.
Use nails and a hammer to nail the side frame to the smaller wooden pieces. At
approximately 5mm from the edge of the 100mm side, every 20mm from the 270mm edge
insert a nail. Do this again besides at a distance of 35mm away from the 100mm edge. Apply
this process to the back too.
6. Check if glue has dried. If so, apply glue on the unglued 270mm x 100mm x 10mm wood
piece. Press this against the unglued 10mm x 100mm face of the 10mm x 100mm x 100mm
pieces so that it mirrors the other side. Clamp these pieces together and allow glue to dry
for at least 30 minutes.
7. If glue has completely dried, repeat the nailing process from Step 5.
8. Cut out four 40mm x 100mm pieces of plywood. Using a ruler, mark lines 10mm parallel
from the 100mm side and another line 30mm parallel to the 100mm side. Do this for all four
pieces, only on one face.
9. Apply glue to the shaded areas and press each plywood piece at the front and back of the
main body so that the glued areas press against the 10mm x 80mm wooden pieces and
10mm on either side glues to the large side frames. Use clamps two hold these pieces in
place while the glue dries.
10. Once the glue has dried, with the plywood facing up, at approximately 5mm from the
100mm side, apply a nail every 20mm perpendicular to the 40mm side of the plywood. At
Zanerobe Inc.

approximately 35mm from the 100mm side, apply a nail every 20mm perpendicular to the
40mm side of the plywood. Repeat this process for both sides of the body, and top and
bottom.

1.1

1.2 SUSPENSION
1. Cut sponge into eight 100mm x 20mm lines. Line the sponge on the bottom and top of
the inside walls of the axle slot. Line another strip on top of either strip too to double the
thickness.

1.3 WHEEL
1. Using a wooden slab of at least 50mm thickness, use a drawing compass and pencil to
draw four circles, with a diameter of 140mm.
2. Use a saw to cut around the circles.
3. Use a sander to smoothen the edges and ensure the diameter is 140mm all around and
the same for all circles.
4. Using a 63mm drill bit, drill directly through the centre of each circle, all the way through.

1.4 COMPLETE ASSEMBLY

1. Place the axle pieces in between the two 10mm x 100mm x100mm pieces for the front
and the back so that it is in between the sponge layers.
2. Cut out two 100mm x 10mm pieces of plywood. Cut these pieces of plywood in half so
that the 10mm thickness becomes 5mm thickness resulting in a total of four plywood pieces
of dimensions 100mm x 10mm x 5mm.
3. Apply super glue to half of the 10mm face of the plywood lengthways. Press this against
the side wood panel on the left and right of the axle slot so that 5mm is overhanging from
each side, preventing the wooden axle piece moving left or right. Repeat this process three
more times for the other side of the axle and for the back axle.
4. Apply super glue 20mm on the ends of each steel rod and push the steel rod on either
side of the wooden pieces into each wheel so that the rod stops at the other end of the
wheels exactly.
5. Create a 3D printed crescent the diameter of the bottle neck and a flat base. Also create
another 3D printed crescent the diameter of the bottle and a flat base. Apply super glue to
the bases of each piece and glue them 50mm down from the top, and 40mm from either
side of the inner 80mm x 100mm faces.

A risk management plan is provided to give an effective, efficient and safe

construction of the Mars Rover Project by resolving key risks associated with three
steps: design, construction and testing. This document will help minimise or remove
the major risks using risk identification, assessment and mitigation.

Thus, in successfully implementing the risk management plan, the potential for a risk
to arise that will affect the final product and/or create an excess in cost, time or
quality of work will be resolved effectively, resulting in the successful completion of
the Mars Rover Project.

8 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF CRITERIA

8.1 EXPERIENCE
8.1.1 Experience using basic hand tools
A requirement for the construction of the mars lander is experience in the use of basic hand
tools, this is a requirement as the construction process of this project requires the
contractor to cut wood and hammer nails among other tasks.
8.1.2 Experience in woodwork
Experience in basic woodwork is a requirement for this project as a large portion of the
lander is made of wood, due to this, most of the construction of the lander requires working
with wood.
8.1.3 Experience in metalwork
Experience in metalwork is preferable but not necessary as a very small portion of the
lander is made of metal, the only work with metal required is the cutting to length of the
axle, this should be possible with a hacksaw.

8.1.4 Experience using power tools
Experience in using power tools is a necessity as the construction of the lander requires that
the contractor can drill holes in wood using a power drill, other tasks could be completed
using power tools in place of hand tools to complete the task in a shorter time span.
8.1.5 Experience in 3D printing
Experience in 3D printing is required for the design and construction of the mounts to hold
the bottle in place on the lander.

8.2 CERTIFICATIONS
8.2.1 Relevant certification in woodwork/metalwork
A relevant certificate in either metalwork and/or woodwork is preferable but not
compulsory, someone who has a certificate in either of these fields will be able to complete
tasks quicker and with a greater quality of work, they will also be more aware of the safety
precautions that should be taken when completing hazardous tasks.

8.3 CAPABILITIES
8.3.1 Access to basic hand tools
Access to basic hand tools is required as the construction of the lander requires the use of
hand tools to complete tasks as stated above, in 4.1.1.
8.3.2 Access to power tools
Access to at least a drill is necessary, access to other power tools is preferable but not
compulsory as they would only serve to complete the respective tasks in a smaller time
frame.
8.3.3 Access to a 3D printer
Access to a 3D printer is necessary for the printing of the mounts to hold the bottle in
position on the lander.
