KIOs Contractors: Lim Khai Ching, Stephen Chai Boon Fui, Sim Wen Sen
 Executive Summary
This tender submission is completed by Kio Rover Enterprise which will be send to the Lex Corp.
The main objective of this tender submission is to impress and convince the designers of Lex Corp
to choose our Kio Rover Enterprise to construct the Mars Rover prototype. Through our knowledge
and understanding towards the Mars Rovers design by Lex Corp, we are confidence with our
construction skills and guarantee whilst also proving that we are the most talented that we can
construct the prototype to their intended perspective compare to the other contractors.
This tender submission should be contemplated above all others, in that our company is proficient
at satisfying every criterion stated in Lex Corp Design Package. Given the facts we have presented
many strong evidence that are highly essential for the qualification of a contactor. In the aspect of
construction skills and professionalism, our contractor has adequate experiences in woodwork,
design work and usage of tools through several projects in the past. Therefore, with experience
and knowledge, a contractor can ensure the construction of the Mars Rover prototype is flawless
and in good quality. In conjunction with the technical skills of our contractors, we also verify that
we are organized and punctual regarding on the meetings we had with your company. We reply to
emails and text messages within a reasonable period of time and also in good manner whilst also
checks the emails or text messages from time to time in order to keep your company informed with
any updated developments. Besides, we put English as our first language while communicating
with designers of your company. This does not only benefit in understanding each other opinion
or suggestions, this will also enhance the mutual respect for each member.
After going through several discussions and meetings with the designers of Lex Corp, we noticed
that there are some deficiency throughout the prototype. Although the overall design of the
prototype seems effective and functional, but we-contractors decides to give some suggestion for
improvement on both the construction phase and the design of the vehicle to ensure the final
performance of the Mars Rover prototype can achieve a highest standard.
From the design of the Mars Rover, we can see that when the load is put on top of the prototype,
it cannot withstand the impact given when the prototype lands on the ground. Regarding the Mars
Rover Design Requirements, the load must stay in its original position and cannot drop out of the
prototype after falling onto the ground. In this case, we-contractors suggests to add on a seatbelt
to make sure that the load is secure tightly on the chassis to prevent it from dropping out while
received an impact.
From the construction method of the Mars Rover, wooden board (1) is attach to wooden board (2)
using hot glue. Hot glue will not be so effective on wood and the wooden board will easily come
off if undergoes a huge impact. Hence, we-contractors suggest to use nails to nail the wooden
board together. Nailing the wooden board together can withstand more impact compare to using
hot glue to glue them together. Besides, the wheels of the Mars Rover are made up of CDs. CDs
are smooth in surface and that causes the prototype to have less friction towards the ground and
this may lead the prototype to not travel in a straight line. We-contractors improved this deficiency
by suggesting using balloon to wrap around the CDs to create more friction to the ground. The
designers accept this suggestion to add on friction to the CDs but using duct tape. Moreover, from

i
the construction method, we found out that the fuse clips are glued to the back of the chassis using
hot glue. As I mention earlier, hot glue will not be so stable and effective compare to nails. So,
we-contractors suggest to use the nails to secure the fuse clip on the back of the chassis.
In conclusion, this tender submission has provided adequate and solid evidence to the Lex Corp to
prove how proficient and skillful our contractors are. Furthermore, our company also set a
timeframe through the Gantt Chart to ensure that we can finish this project in time and also in an
orderly manner. Thus, we believe that we-Kio Rover Enterprise has the most qualification to be
contracted as the contractor to Lex Corp to construct the Mars Rover prototype for them.

1.0 Introduction
This document contains KIO Rover Enterprises tender submission for the construction of
Empacts Mars Rover prototype. It addresses the design criteria proposed as part of the design
package of the Lex Corp.

2.0 Design Package Review

The contractors from Kio Rover Enterprise analyzed and reviewed the Design Package of Lex
Corp. After analyzing and review, Kio Rover Enterprise is capable in constructing successfully the
project of Lex Corp to be able to function well but we, the contractors from Kio Rover Enterprise
suggested that the Mars Rover designed by Lex Corp should made some modification due to it
does not function hundred percent.

2.1 Understanding of the Design

From the design package created by the designers, Thien Kian Chung, Khalpeash Premall and
Jenmarie Jill Engan from group 5C Lex Corp, we-contractor from Kio Rover Enterprise has
reviewed and fully understood the design of the Mars Rover and how it is functioning as well as
the construction method to construct it. Hence, we would like to summarize our understanding on
the knowledge based on the design of the Mars Rover.

According to the overall view of the Mar Rover, the design in simple and easy to
understand. We understand that the movement of the vehicle only can move back and forth and no
1
power sources are used to control it. It only can move when we exert a force onto it. No turning is
needed during the testing of Mars Rover. Hence, the vehicle should move in a straight line. We-
constructors proposed a suggestion to modify the wheels by covering the wheels with a layer of
popped balloon around the circumference. This helps the wheels to have enough traction to move
the vehicle smoothly without sliding on the floor (McCoy, 2010 p. 18). In addition, a load will be
put on top of the chassis during testing day. The load is easily visible in a distance, that fulfilled
the requirements of the Mars Rover Design Requirements.

2
2.2 Understanding of the Construction Method
2.2.1 Main Body
The main body of the Mars Rover is made out of wooden board. The dimension of wooden
board (1) which was the chassis of the vehicle is cut into (19.5130.4) cm by using saw. Then,
wooden board (2) which was cut out with a dimension of (1330.4) cm is then glued to the
wooden board (1) at the front wheel area. Next, cut two piece of wooden board (3) with dimension
(530.4) cm and stick them horizontally onto wooden board (2), leaving a gap in between the
two wooden boards (3). This function as a holder to hold the upper part of the bottle. Lastly,
prepare two wooden board with dimension of (3.530.4) cm and glued it horizontally at the
midpoint of the chassis that is wooden board (1) leaving a gap in between them. This function as
a holder to hold the rear part of the water bottle.
2.2.2 Axles
Divide the wooden board (1) [19.5cm] into three parts [around 8.33cm per part]. Mark the
measurements and place the chopstick on the marks on the wooden block. Next, a length of 6.5cm
from the end of each side is measured and marked down. This is to make sure that the chopsticks
m symmetrical to one another. The fuse clips are then fixed on that position using glue stick. After
that, insert the chopsticks through the opening of the fuse clips. Two fuse clips are used for one
chopstick to ensure stabilization. Attached the other two fuse clips on the other side of the board
too.
2.2.3 Wheels
The Mars Rover contains 4 wheels. The front wheels are smaller in size compared to the
rear wheels. Each wheel is made up of two CDs which are attached together with cellophane tape.
For the front and rear part of the wheels, we need a total of 8 bottle caps. The function of the bottle
caps is to hold the discs so that it will not slip away easily. So first, for the front part of the wheels,
we need to insert a bottle cap facing outwards, then the smaller size CDs which was already been
attached together was inserted after the bottle cap. Lastly, a bottle cap facing inwards was inserted.
Repeat the steps for the rear part of wheels. Then the wheels of the car is done.

2.3 Client Brief Compliance

2.3.1 Dimensional Constraints
Based on Mars Lander/Rover Design Requirements, the entire footprint of the prototype
vehicle must fit within an A3 sheet of paper (420mm297mm), with no portion of the assembly
overhanging the boundary. The maximum height of any portion of the prototype is 210mm.
Moreover, there must be at least two axles on the prototype, and the wheels must allow the
prototype to move down a slope of 30 degrees minimum. Hence, Lex Corp designers have fulfilled
this criterion as their Mars Rover dimension is within the range.

3
2.3.2 Materials of Construction
According to the Mars Lander/Rover Design Requirements, there are no specific materials
required to construct the vehicle. However, there is a cost limit that is RM30 when pricing the
materials using the spreadsheet provided on blackboard. In addition, 3D printed components are
permitted provided that the total 3D cost is less than 25% of the theoretical prototype cost (as
determined by the spreadsheet).
In construction stage, recycled materials are recommended and this may result in a higher
performance level (Appendix A). The actual cost is calculated by considering the cost incurred by
the contractors.
From this point, the Lex Corp has uses certain recycled materials and non-recycled materials as
follow. Price is included:
1 piece wooden board (19.5130.4)cm RM2.00
1 piece wooden board (1330.4)cm RM1.60
2 pieces wooden board (530.4)cm RM2.00 for 2
2 pieces wooden board (3.530.4)cm RM1.50 for 2
8 bottle caps RM0.80 for 8-
recycled
2 chopsticks RM0.50 for 2
8 Discs RM3.20 for 8 -
recycled
4 fuse clips RM1.00 for 4
5 glue sticks RM3.00 for 5
200mm Cellophane tape RM0.80 for
200mm
1 600ml mineral water bottle -Provided by
Curtin University
From the materials stated above, we-contractors from Lex Corp would like to give some
suggestion in order to reduce the cost of the project by changing some materials to recycled
materials. For instance, chopsticks can be obtained from one of our contractors (Sim Wen Sen) as
he has many leftover chopsticks from his previous birthday party. Furthermore, the glue stick can
be obtain from one of our contractors (Lim Khai Ching) , as she has many leftover from her
previous project.
Overall, Lex Corp has fulfilled the requirements stated in the Clients Brief as their cost of their
building material doesnt exceeds RM30.
2.3.3 Conceptual Constraints
Referring to the Mars Lander/Rover Design Requirement, the vehicle must follow these
rules during testing. This includes the capability of rolling down a slope between 30-45 degrees
for 2 metres, and falling through a vertical drop of 1 metre and must land and stay on its wheels.
The vehicle also has to be able to travel in a straight line without any manual control. Due to the
nature of the project, the vehicle is required to carry a 600ml water bottle which will be provided

4
by Curtin University on the testing day. This load must be loaded onto the top of the prototype,
with no complex assembly required. The load must be easily visible from 1m distance.

For this criterion, Lex Corp has designed their Mars Rover which can move in a straight line
without any manual control. Based on the design and construction of the Mars Rovers wheel and
axle, there is no other components that allow the vehicle to turn left and right. Hence, the vehicle
can only move in straight line which is either front or back without any help. But, Lex Corp didnt
take the vertical fall into consideration while designing the Mars Rover. So, we-contractors
proposed some suggestion to ensure that no damage and the load will still be in position after the
fall.

2.3.4 Impact and Cushioning Constraints

Based on Mars Lander/Rover Design Requirements, the vehicle must be designed such that no
manual control is required during the release onto the slope and no energy source can be use. The
vehicle must slide down the slope without any manual control and must move in a straight line
without dropping off halfway.

Regarding this criterion, Lex Corp has designed their vehicle which has already fulfilled
the requirements stated above. The vehicle does not have any power sources to activate and control
the car for example motor. Thus, the overall movement of the vehicle is caused by the gravitational
force while sliding down the slope.

2.3.5 Cost of Materials

From the Mars Lander/Rover Design Requirements, the cost for the production of the
vehicle must be as low as possible which is RM30 or less. Constructing company are required to
provide the source of the materials. The actual cost is calculated by considering the cost incurred
by the contractors. For example, if a pack of 4 items is bought for RM1, but only one is used, the
actual cost is still RM1. Moreover, recycled materials can be accounted for with a cost equivalent
to 50% of the spreadsheet cost.

Based on Table 1.0, the total cost estimation of Lex Corp is RM16.40, which has fulfilled
the above criteria which is provided by the Mars Lander/Rover Design Requirements. The
company has clearly stated the quantity and price of the materials for the construction of the Mars
Rover. The table of the materials is listed in Table 1.0.

3.0 Problems and solution
After several discussion and meetings between Lex Corps designer and Kio Rovers
contractor, we have planned to make some modification and improvement towards Lex Corp Mars
Rover design. However, the Lex Corp only accept few of the suggestion we-contractor have made,
and some of it was rejected. Below are the problems and suggestions that are proposed by the
contractor of Kio Rover Enterprise.
Problem 1
The vehicle has to go through a free fall about 1 metre and the load carried has to stay in
position after landing. At this point, the design of the Mars Rover of Lex Corp does not secure the
load, that means the load will fall off during or after landing.
Solution 1
Place a safety belt across the load to prevent the load from falling out during the vertical
fall as shown in Diagram 1. This problem had already been resolved as the designers of Lex Corp
accept this suggestion.

7
Problem 2
According to the design of Lex Corp, the wheels are made up of CDs, that means that it
has less friction to turn around while sliding down the slope, and maybe will affect the vehicle to
not move in a straight line.

Solution 2
Wrap the wheels with balloon as shown in Diagram 2 to increase the friction with the
ground. First, cut the balloon based on the dotted lines. Then use the middle part of the cut balloon
and try putting it on the CD. This problem had already been resolved but the designers choose to
use duct tape instead of balloon.

8
Problem 3
According to the construction method of Lex Corp, the wooden board 2 is attached to
wooden board 1 by using hot glue. After doing some research, we-constructor found out that hot
glue is not stable when to use on wooden board. It might be loosened if undergo any collision, that
means will cause minor damage to the vehicle.

Solution 3
We proposed that wooden board (2) should be nailed onto wooden board 1 as shown in
Diagram 3 to be more secure. From this point, it can withstand the impact given while landing on
the ground and the wooden boards will not separate easily.

9
Problem 4
According to the construction method of Lex Corp, the fuse clip is glued to the back part
of the chassis, that is wooden board (1). Hot glue does not secure completely on wood.

Solution 4
We proposed to place the fuse clip as the diagram below. Then the fuse clip is secured on
wooden board 1 by putting a screw in the middle hole of the it. This can ensure the axles wont
come off easily when receiving an impact.

4.0 Addressing Tender Evaluation Criteria
4.1 Complexity
4.1.1 Adapting with surroundings
Certain job requirements require a steep learning curve and the ability to be adaptable to
all circumstances. The criteria identify the ability of contractors and designers to be flexible and
constantly reviewing the situation with the objective of collaborating to achieve project completion
within the specified given duration.

Addressing adapting with surroundings criteria:

The contractors from Kio Rover Enterprise can adapt with surroundings by coordinating
efforts in response to changing task demands. Moreover, we also monitor each member progress
and provide backup too. We provide a team dynamics report as evidence in Appendix E.

4.1.2 Able to handle stress and challenges

Contractors must have the ability to cope with their stress and challenges that occurs while
carrying out the project. They must be fully committed to the project where sacrifices are willing
to be given to ensure a good working environment.

Addressing stress and challenges criteria:

In this period of time to complete the tender submission, I actually participate in a frisbee
tournament called Seahorse City Challenge which was held at Curtin from 8 th to 9th April.
Although I have competition, but I can still cope with my homework, for example, I still complete
my MOM and share with Lex Corps designers. Some photos and the MOM will be shown in
Appendix A.

11
4.2 Punctuality
4.2.1 On time
Time management is vital for completing ones tasks efficiently. Contractors must be
capable in organising their intimate life and assignment separately to prevent crushing into one
another. Finishing jobs on time without postponing is a must for a contractor.

Addressing on time criteria:

In this period of time to complete the tender submission, I actually participate in a frisbee
tournament called Seahorse City Challenge which was held at Curtin from 8 th to 9th April.
Although I have competition, but I can still cope with my homework, for example, I still complete
my MOM and share with Lex Corps designers. Some photos and the MOM will be shown in
Appendix A. In addition, we-contractors manage our time well by planning our meeting with the
designers of Lex Corp during our free time on weekdays. For example, we have two classes on
Friday, from 8am to 11am, and another class is from 2pm to 3pm. (class timetable is provided in
Appendix B). We planned a meeting on 12pm to 1pm, we contractors arrived on time as we sent
an email (Appendix B) to inform the designers that we have arrived at the meeting place.

4.2.2 Accuracy
Contractors must not only know how to plan a good timetable but also conduct the jobs at
the exact time according to the timetable. Complete their tasks precisely without contravene the
original plan.

Addressing Accuracy criteria:

For this criterion, we-contractors from Kio Rover Enterprise did perform a good accuracy
by conducting and finishing our jobs according to the right time. As you can see in Appendix A,
which was the weekly progress report and MOM, we completed our jobs and task in certain time.
Furthermore, we-contractors of Kio Rover Enterprise conducted a Gantt chart (Appendix E) that
shows the time we plan to do and complete ours jobs in time a systematic way.

4.3 Professionalism
4.3.1 Emails and message etiquette
Proper emails and messages etiquette must be observed at all times between tenderers and
designers. The rule of thumb is that all correspondences must be respectful and use of rude or
offensive language should be avoided at all cost. Exception is given for short text messaging which

12
can be informal, nonetheless, proper address and the sender must refrain from using non-
derogatory remarks. Professionalism in communication must be upholded in the highest regard.

Addressing Emails and message criteria:

For this criterion, we-contractor from Kio Rover Enterprise send and reply emails or text
messages to the designers from Lex Corp in a respect way which shown in Appendix B and C.
We pay full respect to the designers when we communicate with each other. We didnt speak
loudly or speak/write rude words. We always keep a smile on the face while communicating.

4.3.2 Communicate in English

All communication should be conducted in English. This will ensure a common ground for
understanding each other. Especially are those that are written in nature, such as emails and text
messages. As English is the global standard for communication in the world, every individual
should strive to use it in their verbal and written communication to ensure that no one is left out of
the discussion.

Addressing Communicate in English criteria:

For this criterion, we-contractor from Kio Rover Enterprise send emails and text messages
in English which shown in Appendix B and C. In my opinion, this criterion is important because
the designers from Lex Corp and we-contractors from Kio Rover Enterprise are from different
races. It is important to use English to communicate as each of us are clear about what is going on
and also will be able to contribute or voice out our own opinions in some situations.

4.3.3 Personal presentation and materials preparation

Tenderers should always present themselves professionally. Appropriate clothing should
be chosen to reflect respect for all involved during the meeting. Revealing dresses and loud
clothing are to be avoided. Though formal wear is not required, clothing choice must reflect the
professionalism of the business being discussed. Presenting a good image will go a long way in
ensuring that matters discussed will be taken seriously and will leave a good impression to those
attending the meeting.

13
Addressing Personal presentation and materials preparation criteria:
For this criterion, we-contractors from Kio Rover Enterprise achieve it by wearing
appropriate clothing to attend the meeting. Besides, we sent the agenda of the meeting (Appendix
B) to all of the designers of Lex Corp one day before the meeting. This let the designers to be clear
about the meeting purpose and have time to prepare for the materials needed for the meeting.

4.4 Teamwork
4.4.1 Proper coordination amongst team members
To ensure that the project will be successful, contractors need to keep an open mind and
resolve conflict or misunderstandings amicably when it happens. Contractors are advised to follow
company procedures to resolve these types of conflicts. By following these procedures, all parties
will be using the proper channels to improve coordination among team members.

Addressing proper coordination amongst team members criteria:

I, the contractor of Kio Rover Enterprise, got third place for the Physics Project Exhibition
in foundation as shown in Appendix D. This project required teamwork and I performed teamwork
with other members of my team to complete this project. We build a drink chiller together. We
discuss in a team and work out effectively during the construction period. That leads us to
completion of the project and got third place in the exhibition. We all communicate well and
resolve arising problems in a team.

4.4.2 Innovativeness
Innovation is to be encouraged as it will allow us to explore new way of doing things.
Nonetheless, contractors should formally propose the improvements to be reviewed and approved
by the designers. This will ensure that the overall design does not deviate from the original vision
of the designers.

Addressing Innovativeness criteria:

For this criterion, we-contractors proposed our suggestions to modify the design package
as shown in 2.0 Problems and Solutions.

14
4.5 Construction Skills
4.5.1 Ability to build the prototype with efficiency
Tenderers should leverage on their past experiences to produce the prototype car within the
project timeframe. In all tasks, tenderers should always periodically review the requirements to
ensure that the optimum number of resources are utilized to maximize productivity and efficiency.

Addressing ability to build the prototype with efficiency criteria:

I have participated in a Petronas Ambassadors Program, which construction is very
important in this program. We need to build a project using recycled materials. After team
discussion, we decided to build world historical monuments with soft drinks cans. During the
construction period, I performed my construction skills in building the monument. In the end,
everything went on smoothly and we have completed the monuments as shown in Appendix D. I
was awarded a certificate (Appendix D) for this program.

4.5.2 All measurement must be taken with absolute precision and accuracy

Absolute precision and accuracy of measurement is of the utmost importance. Deviation

from the norm will affect the quality of resulting car prototype. High standards can be achieved if
precision and accuracy is treated with priority. For example, it will eliminate errors such as parallax
errors caused by inaccurate measurement of the length of the cars body.

Addressing all measurement must be taken with absolute precision and accuracy criteria:
As shown in Appendix D, I have done a project which is building world historical
monuments using recycled cans. While building the monuments, all measurements must be taken
skilfully and accurately in order to complete a successful project. I repeated the measurements to
make sure the measurements are correctly marked down. This raise the successful rate to complete
the project.

4.5.3 Ability to come up with solutions to problems

Winning tenderer will face challenges when implementing their design. These challenges
require creative thinking to arrive at a solution which will fulfil the requirements of the client.
Collaboration among different contractors are to be encouraged as it will provide different
viewpoints of how to solve the problems that arises.

15
Addressing ability to come up with solutions to problems criteria:
For this criterion, we-contractors from Kio Rover Enterprise provide solutions to the
problems arose in the design package of Lex Corp as you can see at 2.0 Problems and Solutions
or in Appendix B.

4.6 Responsibility
4.6.1 The ability to act independently and make decisions
Tendering contractors are required to be self-sufficient and be able to act independently to
make the correct decision on all matters in relation to the project. Safety is of the top most
importance and contractors should ensure that no persons are at risk from injury. Tenderers should
also be responsible for proper project planning and to take ownership of any issues that arises and
not look for someone to blame.

Addressing the ability to act independently and make decisions criteria:

For this criterion, we-contractors from Kio Rover Enterprise always act independently and
make right decisions towards solving problems. In addition, we-contractors also complete our task
in time as shown in the weekly progress report and MOM in Appendix A. The team dynamics
report (Appendix E) shows that we are actually a healthy and responsible team. We can conduct
a project effectively without many interpersonal conicts and arguments.

4.6.2 An obligation to behave correctly towards or in respect of

Tenderers and contractors should abide by an agreed code of conduct whereby all parties
concerned are obligated to respect each other. Any breach of conduct should be dealt with
professionally by a committee of senior people from both tenderers and contractors. This will
ensure that that any grievances from both team are addressed professionally and responsibly.

Addressing an obligation to behave correctly towards or in respect of criteria:

For this criterion, we-contractors can communicate respectfully in the team and also with
the designers of Lex Corp. According to the team feedback, we are given a good feedback as
shown in the Team Dynamics Report in Appendix E. Some examples of the feedback are "we are
doing great actually! It's great to work with all of you.", "our group is teamwork and punctual,
everyone come to meeting on time." and "We finish our work that assigned to us based on the
goals in the WPR.". Nevertheless, I will give a gentle reminder to the designers as well as other
contractors as shown in Appendix C. This shows my responsibility as a contractor.
