Key Word Meaning

Self and peer Self-evaluation: Self-evaluation involves

Evaluation individuals assessing their own performance,
Peer evaluation is a process in which individuals
within a group or team assess the performance,
contributions, or behaviors of their peers.

Specification
Evaluation against specification refers to the
process of assessing a product, service, or
project to determine whether it meets the
predefined specifications or requirements.

Use impact. User impact refers to the effects, consequences,

or outcomes experienced by individuals or
groups who interact with a product, service, or

Is it economical to produce? yes I think so The materials are affordable

and low-cost.

Is it environmentally friendly maybe I think so I am not sure I mean If I did

and sustainable? not use VEX parts then I
could have used recycled
parts

Are there any potential no maybe The design is safe and

hazards or safety concerns? stable to use.

Are they appropriate for the yes Probably The materials are strong

Environment The model should use reusable materials where I partially achieved this specification because all VEX EXP parts can be

metal rather than recycled materials.

Size The model must be compact enough to fit on a I achieved this specification because the model fits comfortably on a

Safety The model must have no sharp edges and remain I achieved this specification because the VEX parts have smooth

Function The model must demonstrate energy transfer by using I achieved this specification because rotating the input sprocket

to spin. This successfully demonstrates energy transfer.

Material (VEX The model must be made using durable VEX EXP I achieved this specification by using VEX EXP parts including 2×18

materials remained strong throughout testing.

Manufacturing The model must be assembled accurately with I achieved this specification because the beams, axles, sprockets, and

.If I could improve the model, I would make it larger and add more easier to understand
stages to the energy transfer system. This would make the
movement easier to observe and allow the model to demonstrate
more complex engineering concepts. I would also improve the
appearance by making the structure more symmetrical.

What did you find difficult and why?

The most difficult part was aligning the sprockets, chains, and
axles correctly. If the parts were not aligned properly, the chain
could slip or the system would not rotate smoothly. This required
careful adjustments during assembly and testing.

How could your product have been made more

environmentally friendly?
My product could have been made more environmentally friendly
by using recycled materials where possible and reducing the
number of parts used. Although the VEX EXP parts are reusable,
using recycled or sustainably sourced materials for some
components would further reduce environmental impact.
