PROJECT BACKGROUND:
This project began as the ARC Pool Lift, which was designed to assist the physically disabled in entering and exiting the pool. Currently, the team is focusing on improving the chair design so that it is more accessible to a wider range of individuals.
Objectives/Scope:
1. Design the mechanism to allow the chair to recline from fully vertical to fully horizontal (160o).
2. Design a waterproof base to allow the current pool lift system to be installed safely.
3. Design a chair with versatility to accommodate a wide range of users.
4. The chair must be designed so that connection to the current pool lift system is possible.
