More pictures

This is our finished mockup prototype. It is still in its early stages and we are going to make a real prototype in the near future


The objective of this mockup is to show the concept of our prototype so that we can visualise it. also it gives us a chance to spot potential flaws in it.

A potential flaw would be the wear pivot, thus we have decided to upgrade into a high quality and heavy duty pivot. also the shock absorbing stopper is somewhat too soft and the poles cause it to droop down. We decided to change the material to hard rubber compound.

Our mentor also suggested that we should add a rubber lining at the tip of the housing to prevent cutting of the poles.
