Project Overview
In order to address some problems with their current design, Raymond Corp, a company that manufactures electric fork lift trucks, is seeking a ruggedized data recorder. The current design is a 5th wheel that drags off of the lift truck. It is effective, but limited in that it does not attach easily to the trucks and it needs to be lifted during turning or it will be damaged. So, the project is simple, design a data recorder that will measure speed and acceleration. However, some interesting challenges are presented with the recorder not contacting the ground, in being able to mount to any lift truck, and in requiring consistency with project P08211. The project needs and specifications have been left vague so the design team has freedom to develop the best solution. If you want a fun and challenging experience, this is your project!

Team Documents
This outline for the posting of team created documents follows the general product development process presented in the textbook "Product Design and Development" by Ulrich and Eppinger.
Portions of the team documents have been prepared by a DPM student prior to the launch of this project. This information is intended to help get the team started with a first draft needs assessment and work breakdown structure. The team members can adapt this information as the project progresses.
Keep in mind that everything you include in this web tree is visible to the world and the general public. If you have documents that reflect work in progress, or contain data that has not been fully vetted, then it may be better to include those internal working documents in the private section of the web tree, or in the project repository proper, outside of the web tree. Note that anyone with Guest or higher memberhsip in your project can read your entire project repository. Anyone with an Editor or higher membership can makes changes to your repository. All Observer members can view, but not edit, the web portion of your repository.
These links provide a basic starting point for your team to prepare a comprehensive web site about your project.
After you get started on the project, you may want to replace these introductory paragraphs with a photograph of your team. Near the conclusion of your design project, you may also wish to include a photo of your finished product.
