Concept Screening
Concept Scoring
Subsystem/System Propulsion was the subsystem of designing of our propulsion strategies. We used 5 folders to catch the water and propel the shoes forward.
Subsystem/System Buoyancy is the subsystem defined as the ability for the shoes to float and support the weight of the rider.
Subsystem/System Stability was the subsystem that we looked how to make the shoes as stable as possible in water. Dimensions of the final product 0.305m by 0.318m by 0.914m
Subsystem/System Structure was the subsystem involving the design of the physical structure of the shoes to make sure it was strong enough to withstand the forces acting on it.
Subsystem/System Materials was a subsystem involving the selection and gathering of materials for the shoes.
Cost Analysis
Prototype 1 Flaws Low speed Water entering through the top Shoes drifting apart Prone to tipping forward and backward in the water

Prototype 2
Reevaluation In Summary there were some changes that we would do in order to improve the functionality of our Water Runner. Those adjustments would include: Increase Length Replace ropes with fins Add side supports
