Funding Support Needed for 2013 SIUC Moonbuggy Project Completion

We are in the process of completing the 2013 SIUC Moonbuggy project and require an estimated additional $1,500 in funding to finalize various components. Currently, we have funding from private donations and SIUC, totaling $6,416, but we need to address outstanding issues related to steering, drivetrain, and seating design. We invite your suggestions on fundraising strategies, safety testing methods, and manufacturing efficiencies to enhance our project's success and ensure our vehicle is ready for competition.

  1. Design Review

  2. Funding: • Remaining items: • Drivetrain • Services • Seating • Steering • $3,250 – Private donations • $1,866 – Funds through SIUC • $1,300- Account balance • Estimate an additional $1,500 needed to complete project

  3. Projects Completed • Suspension: Done except for rocker arms • Frame: Tacked • Driveshafts: Preliminary machining done • Locking mechanism: Assembled • Much of the components have been sent out to be laser cut • Steering, drivetrain, suspension, hinge & lock, etc.

  4. Steering

  5. Steering • Bump Steer • Causes poor control • Result of steering and suspension geometry

  6. Steering • Ackerman: Geometry set up to reduce tires from scrubbing in corners

  7. Drivetrain Two speed HammerSchmidt transmission Intermediate shaft Locking differential U-joint and splined shaft assembly Chromoly axle Heavy duty wheels and tires

  8. Seating • Tubular chromoly frame • Extends above head to provide rollover protection • Folds • Fiberglass seat bottom and back • Contoured to support body

  9. Prepared Questions • 1. Do you have any suggestions on how we can raise additional funding to complete the 2013 SIUC Moonbuggy? • 2. What methods should be used to test safety critical and low factor of safety parts before assembly? • 3. Do you have any ideas on methods to test the completed vehicle to ensure that it is ready for competition? • 4. What suggestions do you have on the material selection and design for the seats? Are there any concerns with using fiberglass? • 5. Are there any other manufacturing methods that we should consider that would decrease our manufacturing time and costs? • 6. Do you have any particular concerns with current 2013 design that we need to remedy?
