Reverse Engineering

Visual Analysis:

Here are different views of the automoblox car that we got,

Functional Anaylsis:

There were three parts to the base of the car, front, middle, and rear. On the front and back parts there were wheels on both sides to make it roll. In the middle there was a base to carry the passengers. There was a roof on top of the vehicle to cover the passenger. The axles allowed the wheels on the car to turn with ease.

Structural Analysis:

The structural analysis included reverse engineering, in which we took apart the car to see how it was made.

Reflection:

Visual design principles and elements help sell products to consumer because if a product looks good, it will probably catch the eye of customers. The point of the car is to look like an actual car and function like one.

The black box in my opinion, is the parts of an object that is not seen, but it contributes to making the object perform its desired function. The unseen parts are what needs to be reverse engineered to be understood.

Engineers perform reverse engineering tests to understand how a product was made and why it was successful. They take ideas from other engineers and slightly modify it to make the improved item for themselves.

Personally, I would make the wheels on the front be able to turn sideways to make it more realistic, and give it more of a sporty look on all the cars. I like the design of the automoblox. It needs to look better, but otherwise I think it functions pretty well.
