KEYIDEA
wrex, a compact, remotely - controlled wrecking - robot for indoor operation.
BRIEFING
nimble - fitting through doors - not too heavy (max. 300kg/m²) - stable - transportable - compact
first we had to find the right
disposal of the arms.
the solution was stacked on top of each other because there s more place for the hydraulic cylinders and a more
favourable separation of appearing forces.
our aim was to create something like an icon. so i started with some quick thumbnail sketches to find a very striking basic shape and to define the character of wrex.

4TH TERM GROUP (2) PROJECT
jr12formula student
the whole monocoque of the jr12 consists of carbon fibre. our main purpose was to transfer the char-acteristic features of a weasle (the weasles: team-name) into the shape of the racing car. we had
to keep the nose very low, so that the driver
has a perfect visibility. In the last stage we
positioned the sponsor-logos.
