This week we did the final modifications to the design by adding padding, fabric, and straps. We wrapped the fabric around the padding by duck tape and the final design is seen as follows:
We also did some final testing before completing the power point and final report. With an 18 year old girl using the carrier, it held up to 50 lbs before it was too painful. We believe if it was an older, stronger man, it would hold more weight because he could withstand more weight on his body. Pictures of the testing can be seen here:
We completed the final presentation and the final project. We realized that this design has a lot of work to be done to it to be perfected.
