REV
Created by Ava Grudich and Madeline Weeda
During my co-op experience at Crown Corporation, I was presented with the opportunity to complete a personal project. I collaborated with Madeline Weeda,
a fellow Crown co-op in the Interaction Design department, to create the REV.
MAIN INSPIRATION
This family uses a yard tractor to
put up Christmas lights, power-wash their house, do maintenance, etc.
THIS IS NOT SAFE.
ALL OF THIS LED TO THE REV.
RESEARCH
BLENDER DEVELOPMENT
REFINED DETAILS AND TECHNOLOGY
FINAL SOLUTION
+ Counterweight
+ Automatic hydraulic jacks
+ MagneRide suspension
(Magnetorheological system)
With the use of a counterweight, the vehicle is naturally very heavy. To allow for off roading, the counterweight is able to be dropped/ disabled.
Madeline Weeda designed the REV Connected Interface
