Engineering HubMechanical Vehicle Folio

Year 9 Engineering · Mechanical Vehicle Project

Build the folio one slide at a time.

Pick the slide you are working on. Look at the visual guide, follow the steps, then tick it off.

Slides 1–2 are setup. Assessed folio evidence begins on Slide 3.

      What the A exemplar shows

      Use the pattern of evidence — not another student’s wording or design.

        Done when…Three quick checks.

        Physical design constraint

        Scorpio platform reference

        The body has to work around the real platform, not just look good in Fusion. Use the actual kit as the final source of truth.

        Exploded reference of the Scorpio vehicle platform and components
        Use the supplied base, wheel positions and component space as fixed constraints when refining the body.
        Nominal platform≈ 185 mm × 100 mm

        Measure the actual base you are issued before final CAD.

        Keep the wheels clear

        Bodywork must not rub against rotating wheels.

        Keep access clear

        Battery, switch, wiring, gearbox and motor still need to be assembled and tested.

        Keep the tow point usable

        The class trailer must attach securely for the 1 kg towing test.

        Component packaging: battery, switch, wiring and drivetrain need real space.

        Trailer geometry and tow connection are part of the system you are designing around.
