Mario's Chair
About this project
Our ideal prototype is a sports wheelchair made of aluminum which will specifically require parameters established by the game rules. It consists of a cold-rolled steel shock, anti-roll wheels on the front which normal go on the rear. For mobility reasons, we decided to close the open wheels of the chair and lastly implement a security belt which will protect him from injuries.
