Description:
Hi all, thanks for checking out my contest! I am involved with a company that is looking to receive some entries for a "prototype" electric unicycle. If you aren't familiar let me give you a brief background. Remember the hoverboards last xmas?? The electric unicycle works on essentially the same principle (upside down pendulum theory) to achieve self balancing capability. The current offerings on the market just don't cut it, the plastics are basically thrown together around the requirements of a build, rather than incorporating the necessary components into the design for a smooth finish. I would like the final product to be somewhat futuristic/prototypish looking, maybe a bit sporty. You can get a feeling for whats out there by doing a google search for "electric unicycle". Integral to the design there are 3 requirements. 1.) Obviously the plastic fairing will need to have a cavity for the wheel, but in addition, it will need to subtly include a space for lipo batteries, (doesnt have to be in any particular shape however), and also must include spot for a pcb control board. Both of these items arent excessively large, the PCB is about 4X3 inches and the batteries are about 5X5X1 (but can be reconfigured). 2.) I would also like to incorporate into my design a headlight, and a tail light if possible, but most concerned with head light. Would also like to leave the option open to include small bluetooth speakers, however these would not take very much space at all. 3.) Finally, this design will need to have a retractable handle for balance when getting on/off.
Wants:
The final concept will be evaluated on how well the designer(s) can incorporate my requirements into the overall finished product. Is it slapped together and designed around the requirements....or rather is it designed from the ground up to conveniently incorporate these added functions....that will be the question I ask when evaluating.*** bonus points if you can cleverly incorporate a "fox" into your design, but not required. If chosen to do so, it will need to be simplistic in order to replicate, but have good taste.
Don't Wants:
a copy of something currently available, with a few changes slapped together. I have included a 2D drawing that I made with the basic principle of what I am looking for, however please incorporate your own style, don't be constrained by my lack thereof.

Congrats Decker and Crozycki.
Congrats Decker and Crozycki! Well done:)
Aw, it was just an idea coming up to my mind at that moment. I was thinking the unicycle might be able to run faster if we can use a micro jet engine or something similar, It will not be pneumatic thou because it will still need electricity. But anyway, I got my prototype design done here. More detail design and installation instruction could be added after if you require~
Vinya: I was just wondering if a seat type was acceptable for an entry cause it was not mentioned in the "don't wants". Stand-up it is...20 hrs left to design. Maybe I can squeeze it in. Thanks for the feedback Vinya:)
They are all stand up type because that's the type we found in Attachments, in comments,in sketches may be thats why benito..please submit
John: All the entries so far are purely the stand-up type. Will you accept the seat type uni as well?
Hi John: please don't end the contest early. I'm working on a design at the moment I should be able to submit by the allotted time. Thanks
Does the lipo batteries fixed in both the sides or one side lipo battery and other side PCB?

I don't understand the Fox thing ? Should the overall product resemble a fox?
Edward, i extended the contest so you also could update your design if you wish. I'd say for you to have a realistic shot at the prize, I need to see some better close ups of your unicycle, I can see the cube you made better than the unicycle...
Sorry guys for not yet having clicked prepaid, its taken care of now....I didnt plan cheating anyone out form their money. Hey adam, im going to extend this thing just for you, its not JUST 80 bucks now, its guaranteed, cus its prepaid!
Guys i just wanted to see if i get lucky this time with unpaid contest.
I speak of myself and my designs, sorry but my question very clear and I begin and we talk about it at the end of the competition?
I may or may not extend the date i think the user "adam" wants in, but go ahead and participate if you'd like, love to have you in the contest.
Hi Jhon,
I want to participate if the date is maintained without extension

Well, Adam....lucks on your side this time. You arent forced to contribute. See ya!
i charge 80 bucks just to boot my Cad software up.
2nd place in this contest is a whopping 80 bucks.
Ruby, what do you mean by "pneumatic one"?

Racing drone (quadcopter) from notes to CAD and 3D model
Your task is to draft a mini racing drone from my design specifications.
The drone itself will consist of two pieces of moulded carbon fibre:
- bottom hull
- hood
Key features of the drone:
- two piece construction with interlocking lip
- tube arms (16mm outer diameter, 12mm inner diameter)
- fit 6" diameter propeller (152.4mm)
- 16x19mm standard motor mounting
- fit standard HS1177 camera with adjustable camera angle from 0° - 70° of tilt
- fit standard flight controller circuit board (30.5mm square mounting holes on the bottom)
- 4mm thick at motor mount
- 3-4mm thickness of hull
THE ATTACHED ZIP FILE CONTAINS SKETCHUP FILES WITH DIMENSIONAL DATA, PROTOTYPE IMAGES AND IMAGES TO USE AS A REFERENCE
Deliverables:
- Technical CAD model of drone components
- Inverse CAD model for the moulds for both pieces
- 3D renders
Bonus points for:
- finite element analysis to highlight structural weaknesses and suggest improvements
- include motors, propeller and other electronics in the 3D renders
The ROBERT project
We would like a fresh set of eyes on our device ROBERT, a rehabilitation robot that release healthcare workers of heavy and continuous lifting which can cause physical strain and pain in the back, loin, wrists and shoulders. We aim to optimise rehabilitation through more frequently and prolonged exercises which can result in fewer complications and a faster retrieval of a patient’s strength. See more at www.myrobert.com.
The current look is a mixture of many components comming together which does not result in a uniform design. Further we whish to incorporate a new robot arm, made by the company KUKA, the LBR iiwa version, https://www.kuka.com/en-de/products/robot-systems/industrial-robots/lbr-iiwa. This will later come in a MEDtech version, similar in use but in white and with a small change to the interface base. CAD data of the industrial version can be used for this design, change is that wiring will come out of the bottom of the medtech version and not the sides like the industrial version, so completely round in base instead of the small square thing on the side of the industrial version (so no visible wires). The industrial version can be downloaded here: https://www.kuka.com/en-de/services/downloads. It is the "LBR iiwa 14 R820" found under division "KUKA Robotics".

Smart City Sensor Wall Mount - IoT
We are building a "smart city" type sensor that will be located underground. It will have a wired connection to a Cellular Communicator that uses cellular networks to send the sensor data to cloud server. City employees will mount the Cellular Communicator to walls around the city so that it gets a strong signal. It could be mounted to the wall of a commercial or residential building, in urban or rural environments.
Pictures of the Cellular Communicator are attached.
We need a design for a plastic Wall Mount Bracket that will be used to attach the Cellular Communicator to the wall. We don't want it to stand out, instead we want most people not to notice it, and homeowners to not be bothered by it being mounted on their side or back wall! It should be easy to manufacture by injection mold, and simple to install.
Please provide image files and any neutral CAD file format showing your Wall Bracket design. Images should show how the Communicator fits into the Bracket, and how the Bracket fits against a wall.
shop mock up
HI i need few slides on a mockup for a shop front i'm opening.
I need to have 3 main area, On the front counter, bit of space on the left, a hot food display with the GN 1/3 total 6, followed by a hot grill plate around 65/60 followed by cool display for sald ingredient around 9 1/3 gn, so total around 1.1. mtr.
Front top a glass 30 cm high with no top see the attache pictures.
I have attached photo of the shop today,
We need to modify the shop name from Grill and go to "italian street food store, i attache the brand for porpoise.
a drawing with the actual measures of the shop.
On the back i would remove the top price lists and would put this on the left side leaving the top free.
REnedring photo need to be modified with new name and similar counter
