Electric Motor Assisted Caster Cart

Abstract

To take a pre-existing cart product provided by Hamilton Caster and retrofit it with as many off the shelf parts as possible, in order to prototype an electric motor assisted cart. This project will serve as a functional prototype, while attempting to source parts for the eventual final design. Our group came to this project after Hamilton Caster was looking for volunteers to take on this project. Seeing the integration of mechanical and electrical functions and features, this project seemed to fit our group in how we wanted to pursue our senior project.
