The Collapsible Wheelchair is for people who have mobility issues, which require the use of a wheelchair during travel. The Wheelchair should be able to reduce in size, such that it could be stowed for travel in the trunk of a car or possibly collapse into a suitcase for air travel. The Collapsible Wheelchair would allow people with mobility issues to travel for either medical check-ups or personal travel. The idea was presented by Rochester Regional Health System at the Spring 2019 Idea Labs, where a team of students scoped the problem and proposed a potential solution. They designed a mockup of a wheelchair that folded and had removable wheels, which collapsed down to a smaller size. Project scope is to design a working scale model that can transport patients who require the assistance of a wheelchair but can be collapsed into a package for storage that would fit in the trunk of a typical sedan, or into a piece of luggage for air transport. The functional prototype should conform to the requirements and test methods defined in RESNA/ANSI WC-1 and ISO/TC 173/SC 1 standards.

Information
Content Guidelines: Use these links below to guide you in populating your website. A few points to consider:
- Be aware of any information that you or your sponsor might not want publicly available: confidential information, personal phone numbers, photos, etc. You can use the private directory for this information, and it will be available only to those users with Guest access to your site. Remember that once you post something online, it's nearly impossible to remove it entirely!
- Do not post any files on your site that are not yours, unless you are certain that they are in the public domain or you have received permission to post them. Examples of files that you should avoid posting are copies of published papers, standards documents, textbook chapters/excerpts, or copyrighted images. If you have received a .pdf of a paper through Interlibrary Loan, or purchased an ASTM or ISO standard, you may post it in the private directory, where only your team and guide will have access to it.
- If you are including contact information for people that would otherwise not be publicly available, make sure you have their permission. For example, your faculty advisor's email address and office phone number are already publicly available on the KGCOE website, and is fine to post. However, if he or she has provided a cell phone number to the team, that is most likely not public information and should not be posted without explicit permission.
- Comment out this text once you've read it.
