My team (Junior/Senior mechanical engineering undergrad students) needs to make a machine that will propel itself 10 feet in a swimming pool as fast as possible using a small 4 speed DC motor.
General rules:
-Must fit in a shoe box.
-Must contain a 4-bar linkage (even if used to drive a prop/wheel).
Currently investigating "steamboat" style paddle boat, prop driven boat, something that sinks and rolls across the bottom, an oar contraption...
Any interesting ideas/suggestions out there?
Regards
