Statement#
Emma is a 19-year-old mechanical engineering student at Clemson. She suffered a car accident couple of years back which left her in a wheelchair. Before the accident Emma loved the outdoors and picking fruits with her family. During the next summer break, she and her family have decided to go picking peaches. Since she is in a wheelchair, she has a limited range of reach, especially for height. Due to this limitation, she cannot experience the pleasure of picking peaches with her family. For her 20th birthday her family has decided to surprise her with a device that will help her pick peaches while in a wheelchair.
The family has asked Clemson University to help design a device that will allow Emma, who is in a wheelchair, to experience the joy of picking peaches from the tree with her whole family.
The family would like the device to:
be manually operated
be attached to the wheelchair
not damage the fruit
keep the fruit from falling on the ground while picking
cost no more than 100 dollars
