Executive Summary
This document contains the summary of tenders submitted to the call for tender,
which Innovators Co. ran in behalf of EMPACT. The leading tenderer is the company
which strongly satisfied all the criteria cited in the Tender Evaluation Criteria, TEC. All
the tenders had been marked against the Tender Evaluation Criteria, TEC.
After studying all the tender submitted, Innovators Co. had chosen Innovations
as the winning company. The marks awarded to the three tendering companies are as
follows:
Innovations is awarded the first position for a well set up tender with all
compatible documents. Innovations outlined all the criteria discussed in the TEC and
responded all the questions precisely and at length. The company has provided
persuasive information regarding experience and previous employment with clear
documentation of their work. They portrayed the safety plans perfectly and with
meticulous info which explains their earnestness about the risk management for the
task. They presented information about PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) with
illustrations which confirms that they have experience of working with tools. For the
understanding of design, they have nicely demonstrated the methodology of
constructing the rover with some concerns and solutions. We acknowledged their
concern describing the inclined platform back and forth of the rover. Innovations justified
themselves to be punctual and skillful with their work. They have a good communicating
skill. Though they reviewed the design package perfectly but some of their data were
not well-founded. The evidences were not clear enough and standardized. They lack in
the general knowledge section too. For these reasons, our company was initially
doubtful of their understandings but after further analysis it was found that they possess
all the requirements as mentioned in the TEC.
Celestial Mechanics handed over a good tender review. They fulfilled all the
criteria mentioned in the TEC. They arranged nice response for the understanding of
ii
design where they have scrutinized the design and added their concerns. But none of
their concerns were lucid enough to be approved. They could not present authentic
indication for the experience and previous job. Most of their attachments did not have
ample validation. They have a satisfying communicating expertise. They lost most of
their marks for the lack of valid info. They have not presented any specific information
about the safety management plan, which is essential for the design. Except all these
issues the tender review of Celestial Mechanics is a good one.
Bestech has presented a poor submission. They responded one criteria from all
the criteria specified in the TEC. They have not provided any clear explanation of the
design package. Their concerns were groundless. They have made certain claims in
their tender review of their different involvement of work which had no sign to prove. So,
they got the lowest mark.

in-group
Brief discussed
In the briefing of the project, or the Project Goal, we have found that you have not
been specific when stating without any significant damage. With many possibilities
of what the goal of this specific prototype is when landing, we are finding difficulty if
your design and construction method is able to fulfil the requirements to achieve your
companys Project Goal. Such as:
See if the vehicle is capable of holding the bottle within as it experiences free fall
Whether the vehicle still attains, or continuing its previous movement capabilities
Design discussed
We do find however, that Innovators Co. has produced a design that will achieve the
purpose of moving down the slope, falling, and keeping the bottle within the vehicle.
This is achieved by having each component within the vehicle designed has a
purpose that will improve the chances of this goal being achieved. The purposes of
these components can be explained in the list below:
Columns: Columns will be inserted inside to allow the bottle to fit more
securely, reducing the chance of the object from falling out, or gain
momentum from free falling.
Bands: Rubber bands will act as straps to enhance the stability of the bottle
by having constant force acting on the bottle, and reduce the chance of it
falling out.
Axle: The axle will be 3-d printed to remove the complications of constructing
this part, and allows for greater time spent on constructing the other parts.
The purpose of including an axle is to attach the wheels to the body, allowing
the body to move wherever required.
Innovations however have found 2 issues within your design that does not
acknowledge, the first being the issue of the rover rotating as it vertically falls. We
have discussed, and suggest that an angled platform should be attached to the front
and back of the rover to return the rover back onto its desired face. If preferred,
another suggestion would be to attach 2 more sets of wheels onto the rover. 1 set
onto the front, and 1 set on the back, once again, to return the rover back onto its
desired face.
The second issue we find with your design is the suspension in the vehicle. From a
fall of 1 metre, the vehicle will experience a large force from hitting the ground as it
lands. Without suspension, components within the vehicle may be dramatically
harmed, with our concerns on the wheels particularly. Primarily on the axles that
connect the wheels to the body.
Construction discussed
We would like to summarise our interpretation of your design to allow you to see that
we understand your companys desire.
Innovators Co. have designed a Mars Land Rover that will have 6 wheels
in total, with a simple body predominately made from cardboard.
These wheels will be of 45 mm radius, and will have its depth provided by
the repetitive addition of cardboard wheels onto each others.
The walls will be done in a similar fashion, by the addition of cardboard
once to create a double layered wall. The front and back of the rover will be
of 70 mm x 150 mm, with the side walls being 320 mm x 150 mm.
The axles will be simply printed by a 3d printer.
The inside of the body will be filled with columns
There will be rubber bands
The tools that are required to build the design are all attained by the team members
of Innovations. The drill (with drill bit), screw driver, band saw, Stanley knife (box
5
cutter knife), hammer, scissors, pencil and compass, are all tools that are contained
within our personal homes. The 3D printer will be acquired through Curtin University.
3.2 Quiz
Contractors for Innovators Co. for the Mars Rover project are required at least some
general background knowledge about Mars Rovers and the project itself. It is
essential for contractors to sit a short test, compose of 5 questions on multiple
aspects of this project.

Tarindu was employed by The Salvation Army as a volunteer, with evidence shown in
the Appendix (A2).
3.4 Experience
A serious occupational injury or illnesses can affect the lives of the employee. It may
result in a potentially lifelong injury or even death. On the other, people with more
experience parallels to a greater chance of producing a more professional and
accurate prototype for our Mars Rover. This is the reason why we desire some
experience of tools or resources. Marks will be allocated depending on the number of
team members in the group that have relevant experiences. Evidences needed to be
provided to receive the marks for this section.
We will be capable of using all of the tools that you are requiring from us to construct
the vehicle. These are:
Drilling Machine
Screw Driver
Band saw
Hammer
Scissors
Pencil
Compass
3D printer
Liam and Tom has experience in handling machinery from not only High School
woodworks class, (seen in PICTURE OF GRADES), working at MCB Carpentry
Solutions, but also AIRSKILLS. The first 2 roles mentioned has given Liam the skills
to handle drilling machines from having to drill holes for the poles (shown in
PICTURE OF BOAT), but also having to drill hundreds of screws to install insulated
roofing in a building for MCB Carpentry Solutions. Liam was also required to cut a
variety of sizes of wood for MCB to aid in plumbing services, ensuring piping was
held securely. Tom has also acquired skills in having to use drills to install air
handling units as seen in PICTURE OF REFERENCE. Having these unique
experiences, Liam and Tom has developed the appropriate skills to use drills and
band saws, particularly when having to drill holes in the walls of your vehicle for the
axles.
The scissors, pencil, hammer, compass and 3D printer were all required for Tarindus
project as shown in PICTURE OF HOUSE. Tarindu and his team had to efficiently
use these tools from using a pencil to accurately draw where actions were to made,
to cutting the materials to shape with scissors. Being a similar project to what
Innovators Co., Tarindu will be able to effectively transfer the skills developed from
that task to what you are requesting from our company. In addition, Liam also made
use of scissors, pencils, hammers and compass from previously mentioned roles.
they are employed. They have certain skill which they have gained from
their employment. They also mention Tarindu project of Appendix B, pg-
30, which is given in a picture with no evidence that can prove that its their
project. Other than this, they have a good experience of working with
different tools.
When overviewing the tools that you require to build the design, we have decided
that the tools that are of highest risk in harming a user is the Box cutting knife and the
drill. Due to this, we have summarized how to appropriately handle these tools.
Ensure that the knife is clipped back into the handle when not in use
When using, ensure that there is a firm grasp on the handle with the index finger on
top of the handle (opposite side of sharp edge) to direct the cutting. This will reduce
the chance of misusing the knife and harming oneself whilst cutting the cardboard for
the wheels/walls
Drilling machine:
Have nothing loose on you that may get caught in the drill
Working in environments that required machinery or heavy tools, the members have
strong experience with wearing the appropriate PPE. This including:
Wearing safety glasses if any machinery is being in use, or any tool that may result in
something to spark/flick something out. This may be required when having to use the
drill to produce holes in the walls.
Innovations has pointed the PPE which proves that they have a
sound knowledge of it. They also mentioned some of the safety rules of 2
10
Having 3 sets of wheels over 2 sets This is to allow for a greater distribution of
force when the rover hits the floor from free falling. This reduces the chance of the
rover deconstructing in the impact. There will be greater depth, allowing for greater
strength and stability. Cardboard is obviously chosen for its cheap purchase, and the
ease of cutting and shaping to the users needs.
Columns inside to allow the bottle to fit more securely, reducing the chance of the
object from falling out
The axle will be 3-d printed to remove the complications of constructing this part, and
allows for greater time spent on constructing the other parts.
As mentioned in our Design Review Package, Innovations have found 2 issues within
your design that it does not acknowledged, the first being the issue of the rover
rotating as it vertically falls. We have discussed, and suggest that an angled platform
should be attached to the front and back of the rover to return the rover back onto its
desired face. If preferred, another suggestion would be to attach 2 more sets of
wheels onto the rover. 1 set onto the front, and 1 set on the back, once again, to
return the rover back onto its desired face.
The second issue we find with your design is the suspension in the vehicle. From a
fall of 1 metre, the vehicle will experience a large force from hitting the ground as it
lands. Without suspension, components within the vehicle may be dramatically
harmed, with our concerns focused on the wheels, also on the axles that connect the
wheels to the body. We suggest that you add either foam, or springs within the axles
or body. This will allow these added components to absorb the forces harmlessly,
and release the gained force in a timely distributed manner
Our group finds that it is impossible to reply to this tender as it requires knowledge
from after being accepted for the contract
Innovations has provided valid reasons for not replying this part. But
they have not provided any screenshot of the time of their stage 1
submission.
3.8 Communications
We at Innovators Co. require good communications skills, both oral and written to
contact us. Everything should be well structured and comprehensible. Emails, texts
and calls can be an easy way to contact us and its better to contact during the
working hours (9am-5pm). When any of our team member makes contact, we
appreciate an appropriate and detailed response. The response is also expected to
be made within one working day, during the working hours. Meetings can also be
arranged but inform us at least two days before the meeting day and be specific
about what you want to discuss. We also prefer to get a weekly progress report and
some feedback on our designs too.
Innovators Co. and Innovations had a few bumps on the way to creating a meeting
for the design. This resulted in a late message to Innovations. Co as the contractor
was involved in a state sports competition, which was detailed explained in an email.
Along the way, both companies exhibited issues with the timings, due to arising
events. This resulted in having to rearrange meetings. Throughout this, Innovations
have been replying within a day, and sending text messages as soon as events
arisen.
part or section of the rover. This is crucial in finding exact measurements and also
gives the constructor a greater understanding without ambiguity of how it is made.
The majority of the drawings also lack depth by using dotted and dashed lines to
differentiate each line and where they are situated in regard to others. To add to this
problem some lines are also very rough in drawing and could have been made using
graph paper or something similar in order to draw straighter and more accurate lines
using the guidelines. Drawings also over lap onto other information on the page
making it look unprofessional and harder to interpret. The design itself seems
feasible and a suitable candidate for its intended purpose. One point to critic is that
the design hasnt allowed for the angled drop that the vehicle is proposed to perform.
Without a counter weight on the back end of the vehicle, it will land on an angle which
creates problems with as safe landing with all its wheels on the ground so therefore it
would be highly suggested to include in your design. Furthermore, even though the
cardboard wheels will provide some give it is possible that it wont be enough causing
the vehicle to bounce on impact and possible fail its proposed purpose.

4.4 Experience
1. Experience in use of tools and resources
Similarly to section 3.2, the experience of safety ties in with the use of tools and
resources. At celestial mechanics we are confident in the experience of each
member to meet the standards of Innovators Co.. As shown in (4.0 Appendix.1, 5.0
Appendix.2, 6.0 Appendix.3, 7.0 Appendix.4), all members stated (on cover page (1))
have been involved in a project requiring tools and resources in order to perform the
construction effectively. This shows our depth of ability to provide outstanding
understanding of tools in multiple different projects. According to the marking criteria
provided, Celestial Mechanics should be allocated full marks. Although all members
experience doesnt showcase the ability of each member, it fits the provided criteria
even though certain members are more competent than others.
2. Previous Employment
Almost identically to section 3.3.1 and similarly to section 3.2, Celestial Mechanics
pride ourselves on the consistent experience our team has to offer. Although we as a
company are only university students and lack any employment opportunities without
a proper qualification, we have had quality experience when considering our
particular circumstance. As shown in (4.0 Appendix.1, 5.0 Appendix.2, 6.0
Appendix.3, 7.0 Appendix.4), also stated in 3.3.1, we have all constructed projects to
gain experience in safety, tools and methods involved when approaching a task
similar to the mars rover. When comparing the criteria provided against our
experience, we believe we are an appropriate candidate to fulfil the requirements for
Innovators Co. and therefore receive full marks allocated.

4.7 Communication
At celestial mechanics, we understand the importance of communication when
considering planning and managing a project effectively. Throughout our time
together we have displayed excellent communication skills between members and
other companies we have been involved with. As seen in 9.0 Appendix.6 its shows
our ability to communicate professionally as well as quickly whenever it may be
required. It is because of this we believe we deserve the highest of marks in this
section due to our ability to communicate effectively consistently.
Design Understanding
This design use the cardboard to make the base and the wheels. Some part use the
wood to strengthening. The six 2.5 cm with the width of each wheel, can be easy to
move and get the kinetic energy from the slope.
Bestech has shown concern for the balsa wood. They have
mentioned balsa wood is hard and fragile which might break. But we are
only using the balsa wood for pillars so the force will be exerted vertically
which minimizes the chance of breaking to almost zero. Their second
concern was about the cardboard, they said it is a good buffer so it might
change it shape. But we are using double sheet to the base and also the
side walls which reduce the chance. We are not saying there is no
possibility but the possibility but it is very low which can be neglected.
Bestech has mentioned that they are a newly built company where Ran Li
is the contractor. He has spent a long time preparing things with his artist
grandfather. He is experienced at fixing machinery, electrical, etc problems. All
these explanations are without a valid proof. Nothing relevant is given in the
appendices. In appendices 4.0 a resume is given which has no relation with the
project and any one of these explanations.
6.0 Summary
In summary, Innovations had submitted a good tender review
scoring 80%. They are the first favored company for constructing the Mars
Lander. The second spot goes to Celestial Mechanics but they need to be
more professional when they accept the project. Finally, if neither of the
company is available to construct the Mars Lander then Innovators Co. is
willing to rerun the tender considering Bestech failed to hand over a
decent tender review.

1.3 DEADLINES.
This project needs to be progressively completed over a due date. The results of this
project will rely on the designers and contractors following these deadlines.
Travel in a self-guided straight line for 2 metres down a slope set which will be
not less than 30 degrees.
Land and stay on its wheels after a vertical drop of 1 metre.
Carry a weight of 600ml water bottle which will be loaded onto the top. The
condition of the weight should be easy to assess (i.e. visual inspection from ~1m
distance)

3.4 Methodology.
Steps:
Step 1: Collect all the required materials as outlined in the materials list.
Each wheel will consist of 6 thinner circular sections that will be glued and stacked together
on top of each other to make up one whole wheel, and taped along the circumference of the
wheel, or wheel sections.
Step 2: Use the pencil, and the compass to mark out a circle of 45 mm radius on the cardboard
sheet, that will then be cut out with an appropriate blade. This will be one of the six sections that
make up each wheel.
Repeat this step 35 times to create the 36 circular sections that will be required for the wheels (6
per each wheel).
Step 3: To assemble each wheel, use the superglue to connect 6 of the circular sections on top
of each other
Page 5 of 94
6
Repeat this step 5 times to create the 6 wheels required for the rover.
Step 4: The flooring of the rovers chassis will be a single rectangular cardboard sheet with
dimensions of 320mm by 150mm, as illustrated in Figure ------. Use the pencil to mark out this
rectangle shape on the sheet of cardboard provided, according to the dimensions described, and
cut it out with the appropriate blade.
Step 5: Use the same process to carve out the rectangular side pieces of the cardboard, which
will be double-layered. Mark out the 4 rectangular pieces of cardboard on the sheet (320mm by
160mm), and cut them out.
Then 2 of the cardboard pieces should be glued on top of each other to form one of the double
layered sides for the chassis. Repeat this for the other side of the chassis with the other two
pieces of cardboard that was also carved out.
Step 6: Draw another 2 identical rectangular sections on the initial cardboard sheet to carve out
(70mm height, 150 mm width). These will be the front and back sections of the car.
Step 7: Use the provided 3-d printer for the construction of the plastic axles. Input the
dimensions of the axles as shown in the diagram, and 3-d print the 3 identical axles.
Step 8: Use a band saw to craft the 2 identical central columns/pillars that will fill the inner
chassis of the car, from the balsa wood, according to the dimensions provided. Then, with the
band saw, craft the front and back support wooden columns, as well as the front and back upper
columns, as illustrated in the diagrams, and dimensions.
Step 9: Use the box cutter to carve out the foam platform (dimensions 320 x 150 x 20 mm) from
the foam material. On the rover, this will be connected above the wooden support columns, and
it is where the bottle will rest.
The previous steps guide through the creation of just the individual parts of the rover. Once these
steps have been completed, the rover itself is to be assembled from these individual parts, as
outlined in the following steps.
Step 10: Equip the drill with an 8mm drill bit, and use it to drill 3 holes in each of the two side
walls, so that the axle can later pass through these holes. The two chassis side walls can be
superimposed or placed symmetrically on top of each other while drilling, so that the wall can
only be drilled 3 times to produce 6 holes, and so that the position of the wholes only needs to be
marked once.
Step 11: The side, front, back, and floor of the chassis should have connected to each other with
glue into a box shape.
Page 6 of 94
7
Step 12: The 4 wooden support columns should be placed inside this box according to what has
been illustrated in the diagrams, leaving the 3 gaps for the axles. The sides of these columns
should be glued to all the cardboard walls of the chassis that meet them. Then the screw driver
should be used to drill screws into the wooden columns through the cardboard sides, from the
outside. At least 2 screws should be used for each side for each column, but their exact
positioning is of little importance.
Step 13: The foam platform (which has the same length and width as the body rover) simply
needs to be glued on top of the wooden support columns. After that, the top wooden walls that
will be surrounding the bottle also need to be glued along to the edges of the rover on top of the
foam platform.
Step 14: The plastic straps that will hold the bottle in place on the foam bed should then be
taped on top of the side wooden walls, going from one side wall, across to the other wall, above
the gap where the water bottle will sit. The water bottle is slid inside from the back of the rover
underneath the straps.
Step 15: Finally, a hole of 8mm diameter is drilled in the centre of each wheel, all 3 axles are slid
inside the axle holes on the chassis, and then all 6 wheels are glued onto each end of the 3
axles, such that there is a 1 cm of distance between a wheel and the chassis of the rover.

Tender Review of Innovations
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
After reading through your stage design, our company Innovations have found
ourselves captivated by your ingenuity. It is because of this, we are compelled to
involve ourselves in the construction of this Mars Land Rover prototype, and believe
that we have all of the qualifications required to do so.
The following document contains all of the information required for you to understand
what our company is about, and we trust it will result in Innovators Co. trusting us to
complete your design. This will include
About us:
With a modernised team (newer generation) that are always keen to complete any
designers work at high standards, Innovations would be a perfect contractor for your
desired prototype that is a modern vehicle. Our team consists of 3 contractors.
Liam Kay
Tom Clough
Tarindu Abeysekera
Overall, our team has experience in Industrial construction, High school woodworks,
and a practical overview of all tasks developed from previous employments, allowing
us to develop a sensible approach to all constructions. These employments include
carpentry, retail, industry and volunteering sites, which you may notice are a large
range of skills. Through these experiences and employments, we have developed a
strong sense of handling tools, interpreting technical drawings and completing tasks
within an assigned time frame. We find that our solid skills in these areas will give us
the advantage over our competitors for the contracting.
31
We, Innovations, believe that your design for a prototype for a land rover has a
construction process that fits perfectly with our experience and skills. This match
almost guarantees a high satisfaction from Innovators Co., and we hope that through
this document, you will find this yourselves.
Overview
The purpose of the design of a Mars Land Rover is to find out if Mars is or was
suitable for life. However, for the sake of Engineering Foundations Principles and
Communications, it is for us to be capable of constructing a prototype of this rover
that can carry a weight of 600 mL water bottle from a vertical drop of 1 metre, with
acceleration from a 30 degree slant made from a 2 metre platform.
Brief discussed
In the briefing of the project, or the Project Goal, we have found that you have not
been specific when stating without any significant damage. With many possibilities
of what the goal of this specific prototype is when landing, we are finding difficulty if
your design and construction method is able to fulfil the requirements to achieve your
companys Project Goal. Such as:
Design discussed
We do find however, that Innovators Co. has produced a design that will achieve the
purpose of moving down the slope, falling, and keeping the bottle within the vehicle.
This is achieved by having each component within the vehicle designed has a
purpose that will improve the chances of this goal being achieved. The purposes of
these components can be explained in the list below:
Innovations however have found 2 issues within your design that does not
acknowledge, the first being the issue of the rover rotating as it vertically falls. We
have discussed, and suggest that an angled platform should be attached to the front
and back of the rover to return the rover back onto its desired face. If preferred,
another suggestion would be to attach 2 more sets of wheels onto the rover. 1 set
onto the front, and 1 set on the back, once again, to return the rover back onto its
desired face.
The second issue we find with your design is the suspension in the vehicle. From a
fall of 1 metre, the vehicle will experience a large force from hitting the ground as it
lands. Without suspension, components within the vehicle may be dramatically
harmed, with our concerns on the wheels particularly. Primarily on the axles that
connect the wheels to the body.
Construction discussed
We would like to summarise our interpretation of your design to allow you to see that
we understand your companys desire.
Innovators Co. have designed a Mars Land Rover that will have 6 wheels in
total, with a simple body predominately made from cardboard.
These wheels will be of 45 mm radius, and will have its depth provided by the
repetitive addition of cardboard wheels onto each others.
The walls will be done in a similar fashion, by the addition of cardboard once
to create a double layered wall. The front and back of the rover will be of 70
mm x 150 mm, with the side walls being 320 mm x 150 mm.
The axles will be simply printed by a 3d printer.
The inside of the body will be filled with columns
There will be rubber bands
The tools that are required to build the design are all attained by the team members
of Innovations. The drill (with drill bit), screw driver, band saw, Stanley knife (box
cutter knife), hammer, scissors, pencil and compass, are all tools that are contained
within our personal homes. The 3D printer will be acquired through Curtin University.

TENDER APPLICATION
Quiz
Contractors for Innovators Co. for the Mars Rover project are required at least some
general background knowledge about Mars Rovers and the project itself. It is
essential for contractors to sit a short test, compose of 5 questions on multiple
aspects of this project.
3. What is the name of the first successful mars rover that arrived at Mars?
Mariner 4
Previous Employment
Innovators Co. believes that good work experiences will increase the probability of
successes in their career. Exploring to different job environment helps employees get
a real sense of this industry. Thus, it is essential for team members to have some
relevant experience. Marks will be allocated depending on the number of team
members in the group that have been previously employed. Evidences needed to be
provided to receive the marks for this section.
Figure 6 acts as evidence for Liam being employed for Woolworths for
around 10 months, showing Liams work wear.
SKILLED AIR IMAGE acts as evidence for Tom being employed for Skilled
Air, showing a reference letter from his employer.
Experience
A serious occupational injury or illnesses can affect the lives of the employee. It may
result in a potentially lifelong injury or even death. On the other, people with more
experience parallels to a greater chance of producing a more professional and
accurate prototype for our Mars Rover. This is the reason why we desire some
experience of tools or resources. Marks will be allocated depending on the number of
team members in the group that have relevant experiences. Evidences needed to be
provided to receive the marks for this section.
Members of our company have developed strong skills in working with technical
drawings whilst being employed within AirSkill, and being involved in various projects.
PICTURE OF TECHNICAL DRAWINGS, is an example of what Tom had to read to
build these air handling units. Having to do this, he is now capable of interpreting
technical drawings and then construct physical designs at high standards from these
interpretations. Tarindu has been involved in the construction of a prototype, similar
to what Innovators Co. requires. This can be shown in PICTURE OF PROTOTYPE
HOUSE, where the prototype had to be first drawn as technical drawings, and then
constructed. These skills will be necessary when we are required to build your
designs from your very own technical drawings.
All members of our company has experience with the use of tools, with some having
quite an in depth knowledge of how to operate them.
We will be capable of using all of the tools that you are requiring from us to construct
the vehicle. These are:
Drilling Machine
Screw Driver
Band saw
Box cutter knife
Hammer
Scissors
Pencil
Compass
3D printer
a box cutter (Stanley knife). With this experience, Liam will be very efficient and
accurate when having to cut the wheels and walls from cardboard for the design.
Liam and Tom has experience in handling machinery from not only High School
woodworks class, (seen in PICTURE OF GRADES), working at MCB Carpentry
Solutions, but also AIRSKILLS. The first 2 roles mentioned has given Liam the skills
to handle drilling machines from having to drill holes for the poles (shown in
PICTURE OF BOAT), but also having to drill hundreds of screws to install insulated
roofing in a building for MCB Carpentry Solutions. Liam was also required to cut a
variety of sizes of wood for MCB to aid in plumbing services, ensuring piping was
held securely. Tom has also acquired skills in having to use drills to install air
handling units as seen in PICTURE OF REFERENCE. Having these unique
experiences, Liam and Tom has developed the appropriate skills to use drills and
band saws, particularly when having to drill holes in the walls of your vehicle for the
axles.
The scissors, pencil, hammer, compass and 3D printer were all required for Tarindus
project as shown in PICTURE OF HOUSE. Tarindu and his team had to efficiently
use these tools from using a pencil to accurately draw where actions were to made,
to cutting the materials to shape with scissors. Being a similar project to what
Innovators Co., Tarindu will be able to effectively transfer the skills developed from
that task to what you are requesting from our company. In addition, Liam also made
use of scissors, pencils, hammers and compass from previously mentioned roles.
Safety awareness
Safety awareness in our company is very important, as all workers should be able to
demonstrate their abilities to work safely and should always use personal protective
equipment while working. Personal protective equipment includes: safety gloves,
safety glasses, steel toe capped shoes etc. The workers should be able to identify
hazards and work out a way to mitigate the risk. Applicants can also
When overviewing the tools that you require to build the design, we have decided
that the tools that are of highest risk in harming a user is the Box cutting knife and the
drill. Due to this, we have summarised how to appropriately handle these tools.
1. Ensure that the knife is clipped back into the handle when not in use
2. When using, ensure that there is a firm grasp on the handle with the index
finger on top of the handle (opposite side of sharp edge) to direct the cutting.
This will reduce the chance of misusing the knife and harming oneself whilst
cutting the cardboard for the wheels/walls
Drilling machine:
36
Working in environments that required machinery or heavy tools, the members have
strong experience with wearing the appropriate PPE. This including:
Understanding the design is the most important step to create an excellent product.
Innovation Co team desires a perfect design. Therefore, our team expects receiving
any criticism that you realize in the design package and your constructive idea for the
package. Below are the marks follow the criteria:
Having 3 sets of wheels over 2 sets This is to allow for a greater distribution
of force when the rover hits the floor from free falling. This reduces the
chance of the rover deconstructing in the impact. There will be greater depth,
allowing for greater strength and stability. Cardboard is obviously chosen for
its cheap purchase, and the ease of cutting and shaping to the users needs.
Columns inside to allow the bottle to fit more securely, reducing the chance of
the object from falling out
Rubber bands acting as straps to enhance the stability of the bottle.
The axle will be 3-d printed to remove the complications of constructing this
part, and allows for greater time spent on constructing the other parts.
As mentioned in our Design Review Package, Innovations have found 2 issues within
your design that it does not acknowledged, the first being the issue of the rover
rotating as it vertically falls. We have discussed, and suggest that an angled platform
should be attached to the front and back of the rover to return the rover back onto its
desired face. If preferred, another suggestion would be to attach 2 more sets of
wheels onto the rover. 1 set onto the front, and 1 set on the back, once again, to
return the rover back onto its desired face.
The second issue we find with your design is the suspension in the vehicle. From a
fall of 1 metre, the vehicle will experience a large force from hitting the ground as it
lands. Without suspension, components within the vehicle may be dramatically
harmed, with our concerns focused on the wheels, also on the axles that connect the
wheels to the body. We suggest that you add either foam, or springs within the axles
or body. This will allow these added components to absorb the forces harmlessly,
and release the gained force in a timely distributed manner
37
This section will be marked depending on the submitted time of design Package at
stage 1 of the applying group. The evidence of the submission will be given by the
screenshot of the submission time of the model.
Our group finds that it is impossible to reply to this tender as it requires knowledge
from after being accepted for the contract.
Communications:
We at Innovators Co. require good communications skills, both oral and written to
contact us. Everything should be well structured and comprehensible. Emails, texts
and calls can be an easy way to contact us and its better to contact during the
working hours (9am-5pm). When any of our team member makes contact, we
appreciate an appropriate and detailed response. The response is also expected to
be made within one working day, during the working hours. Meetings can also be
arranged but inform us at least two days before the meeting day and be specific
about what you want to discuss. We also prefer to get a weekly progress report and
some feedback on our designs too.
Innovators Co. and Innovations had a few bumps on the way to creating a meeting
for the design. This resulted in a late message to Innovations. Co as the contractor
was involved in a state sports competition, which was detailed explained in an email.
Along the way, both companies exhibited issues with the timings, due to arising
events. This resulted in having to rearrange meetings. Throughout this, Innovations
have been replying within a day, and sending text messages as soon as events
arisen.

1.0 Introduction
It is with great pleasure to introduce to you our company Celestial Mechanics, who
are pleased and excited with this opportunity to showcase to you our skills and
capabilities as a company. In this document we will provide evidence of our ability
along with our detailed interpretation of the design package you have constructed. To
fulfil your companies requirements we will rigorously answer the tender evaluation
criteria to show that we are the company for you. All writing in italics is writing that
has been extracted from the original design package made by
Innovators Co. with Celestial Mechanics responses generally underneath the italics.
From investigating the methodology and the design drawings provided in your design
package, we at Celestial Mechanics have been able to understand the reasoning
behind each intricate part and its purpose. For example, for the wheels of the mars
rover you have decided to use cardboard. Although cardboard is thin and flimsy by
itself, by gluing multiple sheets of cardboard together you have created a sturdy, cost
effective wheel which also can provide small amounts of suspension whilst landing
from the 1 metre fall. The choice of six wheels will also provide greater stability
throughout all parts of testing.
The mars rover as presented in the client brief, is required to roll 2 metres on a 30-45
degree slope before falling 1 metre. For the rover to stay in a straight line and also
withstand the impact of the fall, It must have a strong chassis body holding the
vehicle together. In order to meet this, Innovators Co. has used balsa wood for the
main body of the vehicle, and whilst being a light material it is also strong to keep the
rover sturdy on impact.
Once the mars rover impacts the ground, the passenger water bottle will experience
force insisting to leave the vehicle. The multiple rubber bands running across the top
of the water bottle will provide elasticity on the water bottle and let it move and exert
less force on the rest of the rover. The force of the water bottle trying to escape on
impact will be minimal, which therefore praises the choice of material as it is cost
effective and appropriate to withstand the force.
In a vehicle such as this, one of the most import parts is the axel which provides the
spinning motion of the wheels and therefore causes the rover to roll. To make sure
this part of the vehicle was up to standard you have used 3D printing which shows
your understanding of the importance of this aspect.
50
Furthermore on the diagrams and drawings, although you have constructed views of
the vehicle from different angles and perspectives there is no evidence of seperate
drawings for each part or section of the rover. This is crucial in finding exact
measurements and also gives the constructor a greater understanding without
ambiguity of how it is made. The majority of the drawings also lack depth by using
dotted and dashed lines to differentiate each line and where they are situated in
regard to others. To add to this problem some lines are also very rough in drawing
and could have been made using graph paper or something similar in order to draw
straighter and more accurate lines using the guidelines. Drawings also over lap onto
other information on the page making it look unprofessional and harder to interpret.
The design itself seems feasible and a suitable candidate for its intended purpose.
One point to critic is that the design hasnt allowed for the angled drop that the
vehicle is proposed to perform. Without a counter weight on the back end of the
vehicle, it will land on an angle which creates problems with as safe landing with all
its wheels on the ground so therefore it would be highly suggested to include in your
design. Furthermore, even though the cardboard wheels will provide some give it is
possible that it wont be enough causing the vehicle to bounce on impact and
possible fail its proposed purpose.
3.0 Criteria
We are confident at Celestial Mechanics that we can provide the
appropriate skills and requirements associated with this project and this
can be backed up by answering the tender evaluation criteria you have
provided.

At Celestial Mechanics we have team members which have had experience in
projects which require large amounts of safety awareness. In order to construct a
project effectively, all possibly safety concerns must be considered along with
experience to be able to identify less obvious hazards. Although the criteria
Innovators Co. have provided is not accessible without a demonstration, Celestial
Mechanics can produce numerous documents of evidence showing our experience in
situations where safety awareness is vital. As shown in (4.0 Appendix.1, 5.0
Appendix.2, 6.0 Appendix.3, 7.0 Appendix.4), we have members which have
constructed projects requiring various dangerous tools, along with members
completing year 12 standard engineering. This shows our experience in situations
which require vast safety awareness and in our opinion would satisfy your criteria if
assessed appropriately.
3.3 Experience
At Celestial Mechanics we have a large amount of experience in the construction of
prototypes and using various amounts of tools to aid us. We believe we competent in
this area.

Similarly to section 3.2, the experience of safety ties in with the use of tools and
resources. At celestial mechanics we are confident in the experience of each member
to meet the standards of Innovators Co.. As shown in (4.0 Appendix.1, 5.0
Appendix.2, 6.0 Appendix.3, 7.0 Appendix.4), all members stated (on cover page (1))
have been involved in a project requiring tools and resources in order to perform the
construction effectively. This shows our depth of ability to provide outstanding
understanding of tools in multiple different projects. According to the marking criteria
provided, Celestial Mechanics should be allocated full marks. Although all members
experience doesnt showcase the ability of each member, it fits the provided criteria
even though certain members are more competent than others.

Almost identically to section 3.3.1 and similarly to section 3.2, Celestial Mechanics
pride ourselves on the consistent experience our team has to offer. Although we as a
company are only university students and lack any employment opportunities without
a proper qualification, we have had quality experience when considering our
particular circumstance. As shown in (4.0 Appendix.1, 5.0 Appendix.2, 6.0
Appendix.3, 7.0 Appendix.4), also stated in 3.3.1, we have all constructed projects to
gain experience in safety, tools and methods involved when approaching a task
similar to the mars rover. When comparing the criteria provided against our
experience, we believe we are an appropriate candidate to fulfil the requirements for
Innovators Co. and therefore receive full marks allocated.
our team expects receiving any criticism that you realize in the design
package and your constructive idea for the package.
Below are the marks follow the criteria:

We at Celestial Mechanics believe we have a team full of smart, experienced
members which are more than capable of interpreting numerous designs of many
different types. After looking through the design package, we found the design was
easy to understand and found improvements and suggestions which could be made.
This can be thoroughly explained in section 2.0 Design Package Review, in
particularly sections 2.1 and 2.2 which are Understanding the Design and Concerns
and Suggestions respectively. We believe that our understanding of the design is of
the highest standard and deserve full marks allocated in this particular section.
Although Innovators Co. have not provided a marking rubric for this section, we
believe we have the required competency to satisfy you. As stated above in by

At celestial mechanics, we have been able to contribute weekly progress reports
each week without hassle. It has always been submitted on time without any
complications near the allocated dead line. Although is not possible to provide
evidence of this until our marks for design package one are released, we can provide
evidence of our weekly progress reports (see 10. Appendix.7). When considering all
this we believe we would receive high marks in this section.
3.6 Communication
We at Innovators Co. require good communications skills, both oral
and written to contact us. Everything should be well structured and
comprehensible. Emails, texts and calls can be an easy way to contact us
and its better to contact during the working hours (9am-5pm). When any
