PS Pedal Quang Bui Derrick Newsome Exercise peripheral for gaming Group 27
Sponsor Proposed by Marshall Summar Associate Professor in Pediatrics who is specialized in dealing with disabled children Ken Roberts Experienced Engineer, MBA student with youth exercise interests
Project Background Parents cannot motivate their kids to exercise Kids willing to game but not exercise Some of the kids have disabilities that make it difficult to exercise
Market Background Device is for kids who have an unhealthy amount of body fat Obesity caused from physical disabilities such as down syndrome Children often become introverted due to their condition
Market Potential The product will be targeted toward disabled and obese children Doctors and pediatricians Rehabilitation centers Kid friendly fitness centers
Project Overview Goals Require exercise to function Useable while sitting Burn 100 calories per 35 minutes –20 minutes of moderate dancing –12 minute jog in place Be kid-proof Present to tech transfer

Prototype 2
Previous Project 2003 Wired a unicycle to control the up and down arrows. Only worked for games that focus on holding up to play Use current generator to measure motion
Work Completed Designed Circuit Programmed Microcontroller Designed Sensor Basic Assembly of first prototype Got Parts for second prototype
Current Work Assembly of 1 st prototype –Need to Add Relay –Clean up Assembly of 2 nd prototype –Taking it apart –Duplicate another circuit board Re-making parts in metal
Future Work Test the effectiveness of two prototypes Clean them up for presentation purposes
