Introduction
The Electric Skateboard Team (ESK8) has begun weekly meetings and has set up a schedule for the next two weeks. The major milestones of the project are listed. The team has not spent any of their budgeted money and needs to brainstorm ideas for fundraising.
Team Update
The ESK8 Team lost a team member over the summer and now is a team of three. The team feels that this will not affect the schedule that was determined in the spring and will be able to finish the project. The team has begun weekly group meetings and is on schedule according to their Ghant Chart.
Schedule
The ESK8 Teams goals/schedule for the following two weeks are as follows:
Sketch/brainstorm 20 deck designs and choose 6 different designs to model.
Choose appropriate trucks for the different deck designs.
Choose appropriate wheels for the different trucks.
Research composite materials that will be suitable for the deck designs chosen.
Brainstorm fundraising ideas.
Milestones and Dates
October 10, 2006 Design and create rolling skate deck.
December 20, 2006 Design and build electronic system for sensors.
February 1, 2007 Design and create drive mechanism.
April 1, 2007 Incorporate electronic system into skate deck.
May 5, 2007 Completed electric skateboard.
Budget
The ESK8 Team currently has spent $0 from its allotted budget. The team will need to raise money in order to cover all of the costs for the year. It is proposed that the team will need to raise over $400 to cover the necessary costs. The team has not yet determined what fundraising opportunities they are going to pursue.
Conclusion
The ESK8 team lost a member over the summer, but feels that the project can still be completed on time. The team has a set schedule for the next two weeks. The first major milestone for the team is not until October 10. If the team stays on track, this milestone will be attainable. The team needs to look in to fundraising opportunities to raise money for the necessary costs not covered by allotted budget. The ESK8 Team will strive to keep on schedule and work towards the goals set for the weeks ahead.

To build a self charging electric skateboard that is lightweight and fun.
Electric Skate Proposal
Click on link below Attach:SK8Proposal.doc
The skate will have a max speed of about 10mph and will have a range of 10 miles. An electric motor will drive the wheels and regenerate the 24V battery. This 3ft long skateboard with 4in diameter wheels will weigh less than 50lbs. The skate deck will be made of a composite material bonded with epoxy. Total cost of the skateboard will be $300.* 3–4 paragraphs

The electric skateboard is a skateboard driven by an electric motor that has the ability to recharge itself. The skate’s deck is made of low-density foam wrapped in composite. The skate is designed to accommodate the electrical components within the deck. This will prevent dirt and water from fouling critical electronics. The deck will have vents that will allow air to circulate and cool the electronics. A carbon composite would be ideal for the construction however other composites would be acceptable.

The deck will have vents that will allow air to circulate and cool the electronics. A carbon composite would be ideal for the construction however other composites would be acceptable.
A DC motor will drive the rear wheels of the skate. The motor will drive the wheels via a geared connection that will allow motion in the rear trucks. The skate will have a battery pack that will be rechargeable. To recharge the battery the direction of the motor will be reversed, creating a generator.
To operate the skate, there will be two buttons incorporated into the skate deck. One button will be the drive button the other the brake. When the drive button is pressed the DC motor will run forward and drive the skate. When the brake button is pressed, the DC motor will run in reverse and charge the battery. If neither button is pressed the skate will coast freely. The buttons will be placed near the tail of the deck and will be operated by slight movements of the skater’s foot.
