4.0 Construction Method
Critical Information: 1) Safety glasses are to be worn at every step.
2) No alterations to the design without written
authorisation.
4.1 Construction of the Wheels

4.1.1) Lay out the high-density foam on a flat even surface.
4.1.2) Using a compass and a ruler, measure out the radius of the wheel the radius
is found in drawing 1.2. Place the compass needle at 0 on the ruler and the marker
point at the specified distance (Radius) on the ruler. Using the compass, draw 4
circles ensuring that there is a 2cm gap between each circle and the edge of the
high-density foam sheet. Ensure to check every circle drawn is the correct diameter.
4.1.3) There are two options for this step;
Option 1: Using a utility knife and cut resistant gloves, begin to cut the foam. Make
sure you take your time and ensure that the wheel is cut as round as possible.
Option 2: Using a drill press with ear-muffs, attach a hole saw to the drill press,
ensuring that the cutting blade diameter is the same diameter as in drawing 1.2 and
ensure that the drill bit is 6mm or less and cut the foam. Drill halfway through the
foam, slowly, to avoid heat building up. Flip the high-density foam sheet over and
finish cutting it until you end up with a wheel.
4.1.4) If the centre of the wheel does not have an 4mm diameter hole, use an 4mm
drill bit, to drill into it using a cordless drill. This is to create the correct diameter hole
for the friction fit to the axle. Make sure you do this to all four wheels ensuring that
the hole is perfectly perpendicular to the wheel.

4.1.1 Quality Tolerances of Wheel Construction
1) The wheels tread needs to be as smooth and as round as possible to ensure the model
travels in the intended direction and does not wobble while travelling.
2) The centre hole in the wheel needs to be as straight as possible, width wise, to ensure a
correct fit to the axle.

4.2 Construction of the Main Body

4.2.1) Place the PVC tube into a metal vice.
4.2 Please see detailed drawings 1.2 and 1.3 for the details for this build step.
4.2.2) Using a tape measure, measure out the length of the main body PVC pipe,
where the length can be found in drawing 1.3 and make a mark using a marker pen.
Turn the pipe over 180 and mark the same length on the underside of the pipe, to
your best ability.
4.2.3) Using a marker pen, join the two marked points around the pipe ensuring that
the line is as straight as possible. This will help with the cutting stage.
4.2.4) Using a fine tooth saw, begin to cut the pipe slowly and carefully, ensuring
that the edge is as smooth as possible while keeping your hands away from the saw
blade.
4.2.5) Using a ruler and a marker, to the best of your ability, draw two lines
perpendicular and opposite to each other along the length of the PVC pipe. This will
4 MCW

Curtin University
Email: mcwengineering@outlook.com.au
 be your guide to cutting the holes for the axle housing and the cargo holder, which
can be seen in drawing 1.2 and 1.6.
4.2.6) Using the tape measure, measure out the position of the axle housing on both
sides of the tube as well as measuring out the cargo holder section. The dimensions
for these can be found in drawing 1.2 and 1.3.
4.2.7) Using a drill press, safety glasses, and ear muffs, attach a hole saw (22mm
diameter) to the drill. Place the main body PVC pipe (75mm) into a vice, begin to drill
into the marked points, ensuring that you take your time making it as neat and as
accurate as possible.
4.2.8) Using a fine tooth saw, cut out the main cargo bay, ensuring that you stay in
between the specified dimensions. Use 160 grit sandpaper to neaten up the edges.
4.2.9 Quality Tolerances of Main Body Construction
1) The neatness of the design is a high priority; rough and jagged edges are unsafe and are
not permitted.
2) The axle holes need to be directly opposite each other as the model might become
lopsided which will affect the testing stage.

4.3 Construction of the Axles
4.3.1) Place the PVC tube into a vice. Using a marker and a ruler, measure out the
length of the axle using the pressure PVC pipe. Do this twice. Dimensions can be
found in drawing 1.3.
4.3.2) Using a fine tooth saw, cut the pressure PVC pipe, ensuring that it doesnt
bend while cutting it. Do this to get 2 lengths.
4.3.3) Use 320 grit sand paper to smooth off edges on the pipe and axle.
4.3.4) Using a marker pen, mark the centre of the pressure PVC caps.
4.3.5) Using a cordless drill and vice, place the cap into the vice and drill an 8mm
hole into the cap. Repeat this step for all four caps.
4.3.6) Using a tape measure, measure the wooden dowel to the specified length in
drawing 1.3 After marking 2 lengths, secure the dowel into a vice and use a wood
saw to cut the dowel.
4.3.7) Using 80 grit sand paper, smooth off the ends, if necessary.

4.3.6 Quality Tolerances of Axles
1) The axles must be as straight as possible as the model needs to travel smoothly down the
testing ramp.
2) The ends of the rods need to be as smooth as possible.

4.4 Final Assembly
4.4.1) Push the two prepared PVC pressure pipes through the main body ensuring
that they are properly centred.
4.4.2) Using the correct PPE apply PVC primer and PVC cement, glue the PVC
pressure pipe to the main PVC body. Then also glue the PVC pressure pipe caps on.
4.4.3) Push the prepared wooden dowels through the PVC pressure pipe, one per
pipe, ensuring both are centred.
4.4.4) Push the wheels onto the wooden dowel axles. They should remain in place
from friction fit. If they do not stay in place, use hot glue to glue them in place.
5 MCW

Email: mcwengineering@outlook.com.au
4.4.5 Quality Tolerances of the Mars Lander/Rover
1) Ensure that the glued joints are neat and tidy.
2) If gluing of the wheels is required, ensure that the glue is spread evenly to prevent the
wheel from being unbalanced.
3) Ensure that any part that needs to be centred is centred properly.

5.0 Pre-Test

To successfully test this model you need to;
1) Test the model under the official conditions necessary.
1.1) Check for any damage and fix it accordingly.
1.2) Check that the wheels are still aligned in the forward and vertical direction.
1.3) Check that the axles housing has not moved this will only occur if the glue has
lost contact with the main body.
2) Test that the model runs in a straight line down the ramp and adjust if necessary.
3) Check that the wheels tread is as smooth and even as possible by running your hand
around each wheel, feeling for any imperfections and correct if necessary.

 1.0 Introduction
Throughout the project of designing, building and testing the mars/land rover there will be
many hazards and risks that have the potential to jeopardise the project or cause harm to people
involved. This Risk Management Plan will identify three main risks in all three stages of the project,
designing, building and testing. As well as identifying these risks there will also be mitigation
techniques that should be used to reduce the likelihood of these risks occurring.

The danger of a risk can be identified by combining the likelihood of the risk occurring as well as the
severity of the damaged caused by the risk. This can be seen in the table below showing the danger
of risks of different likelihoods and severities.

Likelihood or Consequence Severity

Frequency Low Minor Moderate Major Critical

Almost Certain High High Extreme Extreme Extreme

Likely Moderate High High Extreme Extreme

Possible Low Moderate High Extreme Extreme

3.0 Construction Stage

The construction stage involves the building of the mars/land rover by the
contractors. This stage will have many physical hazards that come with the use of hand and
power tools as well as use of different materials. Three main risks have been outlined in the
table below as well as mitigation techniques that should be used to reduce the risk.

The testing stage is a very important stage of the project as it is where the designs
will be tested and marked based on their performance. In this stage, there are a few hazards
that could jeopardise the project. Three main risks that are most likely to occur are outlined

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The following document will contain the criteria which MCW will be using to evaluate the possible companies
in charge of manufacturing the Mars rover design created by MCW designers. After evaluation, the company
which satisfies the criteria laid out below to the highest standard will be deemed as the winner and chosen
for manufacture.

2.0 CRITERIA SUMMARY

CRITERIA TITLE CRITERIA DETAILS MARK

GIVEN
2.1 Professionalism The criteria of professionalism are broken up in various categories
which cover the qualities that MCW deem as important when
looking into potential clientele. The criteria covers qualities which
we believe help define the word professional

2.1.1 Appearance The team is to demonstrate the appropriate business attire and
dress code when attending the meeting. They are to make
themselves presentable as it is important to sell themselves as much
as it is to sell their company.

Full Marks The team are all wearing business attire (buttoned up shirt, business
3/3 casual pants MINIMUM and smart/dress shoes) which is neat and
smart in appearance. Shirts are to be ironed and tucked in wearing
the appropriate footwear as well. No thongs or sneakers are worn.
Half Marks The team and all its members come to the meeting wearing partial
2/3 dress business attire (i.e. dress shirt but casual jeans or cargo pants)
or their clothes arent ironed and not tucked in. They Have made an
attempt to dress appropriately but one or two smaller details such
as un-ironed shirt or a member wearing a wrong item of clothing will
penalize them a mark.
Partial Marks The team has arrived to the meeting will the wrong/inappropriate
1/3 business clothing (wearing T-shirts and/or shirts that are
inappropriate to be worn to a job interview) and it is unironed with
shirts untucked. Little consideration about dress was taken and the
team has not presented themselves nor their company to the
satisfactory standard which is preferred by MCW.
No Marks The team has arrived at the meeting with absolutely no
consideration about their dress standard and is not wearing
0/3
business casual attire or in any presentable form. Members have
arrived not wearing a buttoned-up shirt, smart business pants and
shoes. An example of this would be members wearing a t-shirt,
shorts and sneakers. These members therefore have not presented
themselves to the standard which is sought after by MCW.

Email: mcwengineering@outlook.com.au
 2.1.2 Demeanour The way the team conducts themselves and their mannerisms and
behaviour are to be to a high professional standard. Qualities such
as being well spoken to, confidence and interaction between
individuals will be assessed and are what MCW seeks.
Full Marks The team demonstrates a professional demeanour and exert
confidence when presenting themselves to MCW. The members are
3/3
polite and well-spoken using business vocabulary that is precise and
compelling as well as no use of slang. They demonstrate assertive
personalities and communicate with enthusiasm for the project.
They also provide a letter to MCW containing a short series of
statements/paragraphs as to why their company is the most suitable
for the task and to take the contract of our design as opposed to the
other teams we are viewing. In this letter, they have written a
compelling statement which informs us why they are best for the
job. If all this is covered the group will be awarded.
Half Marks The team attempts to demonstrate profession demeanour but do
2/3 not meet all the requirements as stated above to receive full marks.
They are polite but do not use business vocabulary at all times
and/or use occasional slang. They dont show the profound
enthusiasm for the project which MCW is looking for. They have
provided a letter to MCW which is vague in its description as for why
the team should be chosen by us to carry the contract.
Partial Marks The team doesnt adequately demonstrate professional demeanour
1/3 but not portraying confidence and enthusiasm during the meeting.
They do no use business vocabulary and use colloquial slang often
in their sentences. Little assertiveness is evident during their
portrayal and passion for the project is lacking. They have provided
us with a letter which does not indicate to MCW why they should be
the chosen company to take on our contract and might simply
describe why they want to partake on the role as our contractors.
No Marks The group fails to demonstrate the professional demeanour which
0/3 is wanted by MCW and fails to demonstrate the aforementioned
qualities. They have either not provided a letter stating why they
should be the chosen group or provided one which fails to inform
our group on why we should pick that company.
A deduction of 1 mark will be taken for groups that do not provide a letter with a small statement
which indicates why they should be chosen for our design, regardless of performance.

 2.1.3 Ethics Demonstration of professional ethics is a criterion which MCW is
seeking. Teams are to demonstrate the organisational and personal
skills and standards of professional individuals. This also includes
arriving to all meetings on time and bringing all the necessary material
needed for themselves and MCW. Demonstration of personal ethics
would also include a code of conduct which the team would write up.
In this code the team would have written and set a series of terms
outlining the rules and responsibilities of the individuals and the
company. Other things that the companies should include with their
code of conducts are their previous weekly progress reports and
evidence that the individuals completed the tasks at hand by the next
week.
Full Marks The team demonstrates professional ethics by arriving to the meeting
2/2 on time being fully prepared. They have provided MCW with all the
requested documentation and evidence. They have also written out
and produced a code of conduct to the high standard, with the rules
and responsibilities of all individuals being clearly outlined. The teams
are to write at LEAST 5 different rules. They have also provided MCW
with at least 4 consecutive past weekly progress reports which indicate
to us, and give us an overview into the organisational skills of the team.
In these progress reports the teams have shown evidence of
completing the tasks which they have set themselves to their
satisfactory standards.
Half Marks The team partially demonstrates professional ethics by not arriving to
1/2 the meeting and being late for no longer than 5 minutes (Unless there
is a legitimate and valid excuse for their lateness but MCW must be
informed before the meeting, not during). The team has provided
some of the requested documentation and evidence but not all of it.
They provided MCW with a code of conduct which outlines some of the
rules and responsibilities. The team has provided at least 3 different
rules for their code of conduct. The teams have provided MCW with
less than 2 consecutive weekly progress reports.
No Marks The team has not demonstrated professional ethics by arriving later
than 5 minutes (Unless there is a legitimate and valid excuse for their
0/2
lateness but MCW must be informed before the meeting, not during).
The team has provided little to no of the requested documentation
and evidence to MCW. The team has either failed to submit a copy of
their company code of conduct or to list at least 3 different rules and
responsibilities. They have also either failed to hand in at least 2
consecutive weekly reports or none.

 2.2 Time management It is important that a team has good time management skills to
achieve all its planned tasks and to utilize its time effectively and
efficiently. Planning is very important to be successful at completing
task and in order to maximize efficiency allocated time should be
given for each project to allow to team to create expectations and
estimates as to when the projects should be done and to allow
enough time for error fixes and compilation.

Full Marks The team demonstrates good time management by planning and
allocating conscience control for time spent on each task and
2/2
project. The have provided us with a small GANTT chart outlining all
constructing stages of the rover and the tasks and future projects
for the team, including the allocated time they are willing to give for
the respective tasks. To receive full marks, we at MCW request that
the teams provide at least 4 copies of weekly reports showing the
progress of individuals and their tasks. Considerations such as how
long it has taken for members to accomplish their upcoming weekly
goals will be made. If most members have accomplished their
weekly goals it indicates that the members have good time
management and are allocating ample time to achieve the tasks at
hand. Members are also to upload screenshots of Stage One
assignment submissions and if there are no late submissions again,
this indicates that the members show good skills in time
management. To receive full marks there are to be no late
submissions by any members of the team in handed in assignments.
Half Marks The team shows satisfactory time management skills by providing
1/2 MCW with a GANTT and showing that they have spent some amount
of time allocation the amount of time spent for each project. If the
GANTT is lacking detail it will fall under this category. The team has
provided at least 2 copies of weekly reports showing the progress of
individuals and their tasks and half of the members have not met
their weekly goals. If there are between 1 and 2 late submissions for
previous assignments, and the above criteria is met the group is
awarded half marks.
No Marks If the team does not provide a GANTT chart they will receive no
marks as we at MCW need to see a physical plan of how a team
0/2
plans out and allocates their time. A team will receive no marks if
there have been more than 2 late submissions amongst its
members from recent assignments or if the team does not provide
any weekly progress reports for us to inspect. Failure to provide
any of these itself shows poor time management skills.

2.4 Experience and Experience plays a big role for MCW when it comes to looking for a
company to build our design. The creation of the design requires lots
Skills
of work and skills from different backgrounds so the teams will be
allocated marks for various experiences which they might have or
had acquired at some point in their student or civilian careers. The
category of skills and experience will not only cover trades and
qualifications but also any experiences which might involve
teamwork, leadership and general experience. Only one person
must be qualified or have the experience in the group in order for
marks to be given. To receive maximum marks the team will have to
provide evidence of them completing the courses (i.e. screenshots)
and/or photographic or physical examples of their work.
(EVIDENCE MUST BE PROVIDED FOR THE MARK TO BE GIVEN)
Mark Completed a Woodwork/Materials course at high school and/or has
any form of qualifications or skills in this field (evidence of work
must be provided).
Mark A TAFE qualification that involves any form higher than high school
diploma. The qualification must be relevant to the project and the
design. An example of this would be anything to do with maths,
physics or construction etc. Documentation or screenshots showing
proof of having attended and completed these courses is required
to get the mark.
Mark MCW are also looking for individuals who have any form of relevant
trade qualifications. This can be anything from brick layers to
removalists and plumbers. The knowledge and experience gained
throughout these peoples careers and courses will provide great
benefit to their team.

 Mark A mark will also be allocated for members who have experience in
various fields of hands on activities. These activities can consist of,
but are not limited to: Skills and knowledge in engine work,
recreational woodworking or carpentry work. This also includes
experience in using power tools such as drills and saws. Building
hobby items such as RC cars or miniatures. Evidence of work must
me proved, preferably as photos and some form of proof within the
photo that it belongs to individual. Photos should be taken with the
student ID placed in.
1 Mark A mark will be allocated to the teams who also partake in
extracurricular activities that involve some form of team spirit and
mentality. This could be being part of a football team for example.
This is important to MCW as we find teamwork crucial for a team to
succeed in all joint projects. By being involved in these activities it
shows evidence of being able to work and communicate well with
others to achieve a grand, common goal. Evidence of being part of a
team environment, such as photos and/or medals will be expected.
Mark Also Teams that show evidence of doing extracurricular activities
show us at MCW that these individuals can balance outside activities
and obligations, showing skills in other categories such as time
management, commitment. Thus, teams who provide evidence of
having outside commitments will be awarded.
Mark Completed a form of a graphics design course at either a High
school, TAFE or university level. Individuals who have experience in
these fields will have increased proficiency in areas such as the 3D
design drawings.

2.5 Assets and In order to do a good job at creating the design and ensuring It is of
good quality the companies creating it need the right tools for the
Facilities
job. We at MCW find it essential to be well equipped for the task at
hand to ensure that the design is met to the specifications as
depicted by the method and the drawings. Not only are the tools
important for the job but is the environment and workspace where
the design is being made is vital as well. The appropriate workspace
ensures that the team work in an environment where their minds
stay at the task at hand with minimising distractions and it also
promotes safety and a work specific environment. Teams will also
be marked on their use of safety equipment because we at MCW
believe that safety is number one priority.

6 Marks To receive full marks the team must be prepared for the task at
hand in all fields. They must provide evidence of owning at LEAST 6
different tools for the creation of the design. From these 6 tools
the team needs to own at least one power drill, a reciprocating or
circular saw/hand saw, a tape measure and a spirit level. The team
also needs to provide evidence of owning or working in an
appropriate workspace. We classify this as sheds, workshops or
garages fitted with hardware equipment. A photograph must be
provided attached to the tender with a student ID or proof of
ownership. If teams do this they will receive a mark of 4/6 marks,
with the last mark being given out to ensuring the team use the
appropriate safety equipment and PPE such as gloves, safety
glasses and PPE equipment which might be relevant for the task.
For this 2/6 marks is given, for a total of 6/6 marks. (Safety is worth
2 marks because we at MCW weigh it to be very important. If not
sufficient evidence is provided of owning the correct safety
equipment no marks will be allocated).
2/6 4/6 The team has provided evidence of owning at LEAST 5 different tools
Marks for the creation of the design. From these 5 they should at least own
one power drill, a reciprocating or circular saw/hand saw, a tape
measure and a spirit level. The team has used an appropriate
workspace to build the project but which does not suit to the above
criteria. Such as a backyard with open areas and a table to construct
on. In essence this is an environment which can be used to construct
and build in but which is not designed for hardware purposes. A
photograph must be provided of the area where construction will
be taken place with student ID present and clear in the photo. Teams
will receive a score of 2/6 Marks given for fitting the above criteria.
Lastly, the team will be allocated marks for using the appropriate
safety equipment and PPE such as gloves, safety glasses and PPE
equipment which might be relevant for the task. For this 2/6 marks
is given, giving a grand total of 4/6 marks granted the safety
precautions are met.

 0/6 Marks If the company does not provide evidence or conduct the
construction of a design in an environment which meets the
satisfactory standards as the above criteria they will receive No
Marks. The team will also receive no marks for safety even if they
carry out the construction will PPE because if the construction is
not taken place in a suitable and safe environment there are many
factors which can have/lead to ill-effects on the rover or the team
members.

1.0 Introduction
The GANTT Chart has been designed to give a visual breakdown of the work required of
M.C.W. for the Mars Lander/Rover Project of the Processes and Communications Unit. Each
Stage of the Project has been outlined at their respective due weeks throughout semester.
This chart gives another element of clarity as the work for each stage has been further
broken down and defined for both M.C.W. Contractors and Designers. The incorporation of
other units deadlines of M.C.W. Group members, gives perspective of the key demands of
the semester for each member. The features included enable the chart to be a useful
reference point; aiding M.C.W.s future management of this project.
