Materials
How it Works
PURPOSE
Consists of 4 functions interacting with each other to function as a whole. Its purpose is to lift a toy car and move it so that it can easily be moved to another platform with the forces on 4 syringes. How do we work it?
STEPS
1. Pull syringe 1 to allow the platform to descend so that the car can easily move to the main platform (Where you can move the car around)
3. Push syringe 3 to raise the main platform
4. Push syringe 5 to slide the safety grip (secures car in place) left so that the safety grip is directly on top of the car (or object)
5. Push syringe 7 to secure the car onto the main platform and to prevent the car from moving anywhere
6. Push syringe 9 to move the main platform to the right
7. Pull on syringe 5 to release the safety grip
8. Drive the car off!
* Side note: syringes have been numbered in design plan

Drawn Draft
We have drawn out our first draft! So that now we have a rough ideas as to where to place the syringes and have started brainstorming materials as well! Making progress!! Will keep updating. (Below is our first drawn draft). Final design plan is on it's way!
