Criteria | Weighting | 4-Wheel | Tadpole | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Suspension | 0.5 | 0 | This criteria is broken up into the design, manufacturability, and assembly of the front and rear suspension. Both will be factored into the final decision. | |
Front | 0 | |||

Rear | 0 | |||
Design | 1 | 0 | ||
Manufacturability | 2 | 0 | ||
Assembly | 1.5 | 0 | ||
Steering | 1 | 0 | This criteria is broken up into the design, manufacturability and assembly of front, rear, or all-wheel steering. In this case, we will use the best scoring implementation of the three steering types. Consider this a child decision matrix. | |
Front | 0 | 0 | This is virtually the same because they're both 2 wheels at the front - Malcolm | |
Design | 1 | 0 | 0 | |
Manufacturability | 2 | 0 | 0 | |
Assembly | 1.5 | 0 | 0 | |
Rear | 0 | |||
Design | 1 | 0 | ||
Manufacturability | 2 | 0 | ||
Assembly | 1.5 | 0 | ||
All-Wheel | 0 | |||
Design | 1 | 0 | ||
Manufacturability | 2 | 0 | ||
Assembly | 1.5 | 0 | ||
Brakes | 1 | 0 | With the assumption that the implementation of brakes will be relatively equal between different wheel allocations (only front, only back, all wheels), we will only look at the over arching difficulty. Brake wheel allocations is being worked on by Ayush. | |
Design | 1 | 0 | ||
Manufacturability | 2 | 0 | ||
Assembly | 1.5 | 0 | ||
Stability | 12 | 0 | Min is researching the stability. 3 Wheel Vehicle | |
Handling | 12 | 0 | ||
Chassis | 1 | 0 | ||
Aerobody | 0.5 | 0 | Connor Hawkins left a comment on the 3- vs. 4-Wheel Car co-op task page which would be another consideration for this criteria. | |
Battery Box | 1 | 0 | ||
Motor Allocations | 0 | Typically, for tadpole design the vehicle is rear wheel drive - Evan Dodd Consider the number of motors and if a differential would be required https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIGvhvOhLHU&t=282s |
