1.0 Introduction
This document contains ingenious cos submission for the construction of mars rover. This
document has been written in response to the criteria as defined by TECKS Industries
drawing package.
2.0 Design Package Review

A design review has been performed to ensure that Ingenious Co has a full and complete
understanding of the project.
2.1 Understanding of Design

The design is based upon the transportation of a water bottle in the back of mars rover
which mission is to roll down a slope for 2m which is inclined to a 35-45 degrees and
survive a fall of 1m from an inclined plane of 35-45 degree and land intact on its wheels not
topple when it is landed.
The body of the rover is made out of an a3 template which is included in the design. The
package the body would be made by cutting the a3 paper as indicated, then it would be
glued to each other forming a roll shape after then the end parts will also be glued with
paper. The a3 paper also have axle holes for the rover so axles goes into the axle holes then
the wheels which are discs are attached to the axle holes, each wheel is consisted of two
discs. The bottle is then slided inside the body and then tightly bonded with 6 rubber
bands. The wheels are free to move so, when the rover is putted in the inclined plane the
rover rolls down plane due to gravity and its weight acting downwards, providing a
successful mission.

2.3 Concerns and Solutions
Ingenious co. has few concerns regarding the design package of the mars rover.
The first relates to the cost of the mars rover. The cost of the rover is quite close to the
original price in our concern its better to complete the project at 75% of the original price
as for an example, if one of the CDs broke during build of the rover no fund will be left to
buy the CD.
Too much information too complicated to build the rover might be a hazard in design stage.
Hammer is used but no risk and hazards are given association to the equipment hammer.
The rubber band is given in a length of 21.43 but doesnt actually show how to measure
because its pretty tough to measure a length of 0.03m using just a scale.
3.0 Criteria
Please note that in answering this tender, the criteria have been listed in italics and then
the ingenious co response follows in normal text.
3.1 Experience
Experience in procedural tasks:
It is the tenderers duty to manufacture a Mars rover to a high standard.
The tenderers should construct the Mars rover following the design package, as errors may
arise if the team is unfamiliar with following procedural work,which may lead to
misconstruction.
For judging a procedural work and if it might lead to misconstruction ingenious co has
made a prototype of their mars rover following the designers procedure which proves that
ingenious co. have constructed a project based on a procedure. The pictures of the prototype is
given as an evidence in appendix A.1
Experience with hot glue guns:

The well-being of the members of our companies is a definite priority at TECKS Industries.
To ensure that the environment of our construction is safe for individuals and that there will
be no complications with construction, tenderers must have experience and knowledge
about how a hot glue gun functions and how to physically use one.
Ingenious co has good experience using hot glue gun as their as few of the team members
has done some projects earlier using hot glue gun. As an evident a picture of an hot glue
gun of our fellow member (sharier islam) is given in appendix A.3
6
Experience with electric hand drills:
TECKS Industries cares about the health and safety of all individuals constructing the Mars
rover. In order to have safe conditions during construction it is important for hazardous
tools, specifically an electric hand drill, to be handled only by individuals who are especially
experienced and familiar with using them.
Ingenious co is well experienced with drills because the prototype of our grp has also used
drills to prove this a picture of prototype in appedixA.1 is given in where to attach the
wheels with the rover body, drilling is needed and the picture of the electric drill which is
used by our group member sharier islam is given in appendix A.2
Experience with a utility knife:

TECKS Industries prioritises the wellbeing of all members within our companies. Therefore,
we seek tenderers who understand how to use a utility knife correctly and are able to
physically execute its use.
Ingenious co is well experienced with utility knife because the prototype of our group has
also used utility knife to prove this a picture of prototype is given which is in Appendix A.1.
It shows that to smooth the edges of the rover a utility knife is used and the picture of the
utility knife used by our group member sharier islam is given in appendix A.4
Experience with a thin blade saw:

The health and safety of members within our companies is always taken into serious
consideration. Tenderers must be able to use thin blade saws correctly and safely to ensure
that construction occurs with the safest conditions possible.
Ingenious co is well experienced with thin blade saw because the prototype of our grp has
also used saw to prove this a picture of prototype is given in appendix A.1 in where to cut
the wood plank and make the body of the rover a saw is used and the picture of the saw
which is used by our team member sharier islam is give in appendix A.5
Experience with centre punching:

In order to minimise errors in drilling, constructors should use centre punching technique to
help them align the drill in the right position. This is one of the crucial steps in the
construction of the body, and team with members who have used this technique previously
in construction projects will be favoured.
Ingenious co is well experienced with centre punching because the prototype of our grp
has also used centre punching to prove this a picture of prototype picture is given in
appendix A.1 in the picture the wheel setion of the car shown, to attach the wheel centre
punching is needed.
7
Provide an example of a problem and how the team resolved it:
Tenderer must work well within their team. TECKS will not be able to work with a team who
has underlying issues which may affect the project outcome. Tenderers should be able to
resolve issues, both within the team, as well as with us, as this project relies on teamwork.
Ingenious co give teamwork a great deal of importance and working as a team sometimes
there are some misconception between the group members and its quite obvious for
example in ingenious co one of our team members vishant wasnt able to do his part and
told us at the last moment before 2 hours of submission as he was shy to tell he wasnt
capable of doing that job.
However the other remaining members have took that job and shared the workload in to 5
members and within 20 minutes the job has been done. This proves has ingenious co is
very good at teamwork and can face any sort of problems as we are always prepared.
Materials that are required to construct rover

TECKS wishes to work with a team that is environmentally and financially aware. Ideally,
team should already possess most, or all materials required to construct the rover.
Ingenious co has almost all of the materials required in the TECKSs rover. The pictures of
the materials of rover is given as evidence in appendix B.1 and the hot glue gun in appendix
A.3
Equipment that are required to construct rover

The construction of the body also depends on reliable and appropriate tools. TECKS wants
to confirm the team constructing the rover has access to correct equipments outlined in
2.2 Specialist Equipment.
Ingenious co has almost all of the equipment required to build the TECKS rover the pictures
as evidence is given as u can see in the appendix B.2 the specialist equipment pictures of
hammer pliers and printer is given. The picture saw is given in appendix A.5, electric drill
in appendix A.2, utility knife in appendix A.4 and hot glue gun in appendix A.4

3.2 Capability
Will align themselves to the standards, values and attitudes set by the Curtin AIP and will do
so for the entirety of the project:
Here at TECKS Industries we value academic integrity in the highest regard. We believe in
producing and designing our own original work and giving credit to all sources that assisted
In the development of our products. Therefore, the winning tenderers must guarantee that
they will uphold their academic integrity throughout the entirety of the project by working
honestly and ethically and avoiding any dishonourable act that may damage the reputation
of our companies and our members leading to restricted opportunities in the future.
In ingenious co we upheld academic integrity as the most important factor in our project.
All of our members have passed the aip test with 80% or more than that none of our
members has any previous record of plagiarism we align ourselves to the Curtin academic
rules and thrive to follow that in our entire project.
Keenly expresses interest in all meetings and conversations with TECKS:

The tenderer must display enthusiasm and passion towards the project as this indicates that
they are willing to invest their time and effort into manufacturing a Mars rover of high
standard. Manufacturing a Mars rover of a high standard may establish a proficient
reputation leading to potential opportunities for our companies. Winning tenderers can
express their keen interest during meetings conversations by being punctual, having
prepared questions for meetings, laying thoughtful input towards discussions, and doing
prior reading for the meetings.
In ingenious co we prefer to be well known about something before proceeding into it

therefore in every meeting we research about the project details before proceeding which
involves a written question or suggestions we set up a routine and give well time to our
projects as we thrive to achieve a good result we are very accurate in using our timetables
at group meetings.
Strives for a high distinction in this project and record of high distinctions in the past:
TECKS industries holds a high standard and we seek teams that will create our rover to a
high standard. Winning tenderers will be able to provide evidence of producing work that
has received high results in the past.
We have achieved a good result in the past and look forward to achieve in the future also.
All of our group members are new to Curtin and we prepare our self to have HD and
continuing this result for the whole semester .
Will meet all deadlines:

Tenderer must meet all deadlines set by the unit, as well as TECKS. This is crucial in ensuring
the project runs smoothly.
9
Ingenious co has never failed to meet a deadline of any units up to date. We work as
building a routine to meet all our deadlines. Dead line is very important
important in every aspect of a
project. And ingenious co is determined to give any project in a given time frame. For a
proof a sample paper of a weekly progress report which
which is attached to appendix B.4 and a
Gaann chart which is attached to B.5 is given.
Each member understands their roles:

An organized team consists of individuals who thoroughly understand their own
responsibilities in their group. Tenderers must be able to display their individual in
in-depth
knowledge that is unique to their role by explaining what they contribute to the team.
Every person has some positive and negative sites; in ingenious Co we share them all.
Given below is each of our team members positive and negative sites. And, we will try our
best to cope up with our negative sides.
Each member is reliable and responsible:

Individuals must be able to report their work back by the deadlines that have been set. This
ensures that the progress is taking place as planned without falling behind the schedule.
TECKS seeks tenderers that we can trust and rely on to take responsibility for their own
tasks. Taking responsibility for your own task also includes seeking help when in need. Here
at TECKS we believe that individuals should be responsible for their work whilst encouraging
members to rely on one another.
In ingenious co we highly believe in team work. In aspect of a project we share our

workload equally which makes us a lot efficient in our work every team members have
their own designated part of work at the end of the day we merge them to complete the
10
project. However if any fellow members needs any help the person who completed their
part already will come to help on that members project. In appendix B.3 the meeting
minutes is given and in appendix B.4 the weekly progress report is given which shows each
member is dedicated for their designated jobs.
Meeting schedule: Contains a list of all absentees as reflected also within the weekly minutes
report at least one day before the scheduled meeting:
Being prepared for our meeting is essential for TECKS, by notifying TECKS of absentees to
meetings at least one day prior to meeting it shows that the tenderers are reliable and
organised.
Ingenious co is very punctual in their meetings, until now we never have experienced that
any of our members being absent in any of our meetings. We are very punctual to our
meeting and very organized. Ingenious is very reliable as we always want to offer the best.
Weekly meeting minutes in appendix B.3 is given as evidence.
All forms of communication will be replied to within an acceptable timeframe:

TECKS values prompt and efficient communication, We expect emails very frequently to be
responded to within 24 hours.
Further TECKS will need to rely on the integrity of the tenderers team to admit errors and
communicate to TECKS about any errors so as to not leave a problem neglected until it is
too late to solve it.
In ingenious co. we dont hesitate to say anything as we are very straightforward with our
responses. Any problems with tenderers to understand the design is communicated with
the tendering company no matter what type of problem it is. And ingenious tries to reply
every email within 24 hours. Ingenious co believes in reliable and fast communication. A
section of email conversation between TECKS and ingenious co contractor sharier islam in
appendix B.7 is given to proof that we prompt good communication.
Honesty in communication for the duration of the project:

TECKS hopes that the team will communicate honestly about the progress of the projects,
especially if the team encounters issues in any aspect of the project. We would like to work
with a team that does not withhold problems.
Ingenious co prefers honesty as one of their key motto. Ingenious co communicates with
the company if they have any problem regarding the project. Ingenious co gives up to date
information about how much the project has proceed, so that there is clear understanding
with the tendering company that how much effort ingenious co is pouring in.
Able to adapt to any potential changes in schedules:

Our company TECKS values adaptability and flexibility during the period of our project work.
During this time, unexpected events may occur that may affect schedules. It is important to
us that our tenderers are organised and are available to reschedule meetings, deadlines and
any other project plans.
11
Ingenious o is very flexible with their timetables. If tecks have any problem regarding the
meeting time this can be change as we give our most priority to the tendering company.
Understands the drawings and construction procedure of our rover design:

Tenderers must be able to display their competency in understanding the drawings provided
in the drawing package. This is crucial for our company as it reduces communication errors,
confusion and potential errors in the rover.
Ingenious co members are qualified in every aspect. Ingenious co completely understands

the drawing provided by TECKS. In ingenious co a member RICHARD LIU is professional at
auto cad design to prove this a sample of his work is given in appendix B.6
Offers suggestions on improvement to the design:

Although our design may not need improvement, it is important to TECKS that the tenders
are critical of the construction of our design and identify and communicate all possibilities of
error.
The design of tecks is quite good. However some errors are found in every project and its
quite obvious in the tecks design a measurement of 21.43is shown however it is quite tuff
to measure 0.03 distance using ordinary ruler as no other instrument is mentioned to
measure the distance.
12
3.3 Certification
After studying the design package of the TECKS industries it seems that TECKS gives a great
deal of importance to communication and past experiences.
At first ingenious co is very good with their communication they are very flexible and easily
adapt to changes. One of our team member sharier islam has certificate regarding
communication which is given in appendix C.2, it shows that he has done a lot of
volunteering jobs underneath the club red crescent which mentions meeting people from
differ communities. This show ingenious has stuffs which has great deal of knowledge in
communication and has certified proof of it.
Ingenious co members have great deal of past experiences. One of our member sharier
islam has a certificate from government of Bangladesh given in appendix C.1 which shows
that he has worked under the government of Bangladesh for one month in which he has
participated in various scientific projects which includes construction materials projects.
This again shows that ingenious Co members are very reliable and has past experience in
doing projects and has certified proof for it.

1.0 Introduction
This document assesses the risks and suggests management of the construction of the
prototype mars rover. The identified risks cover the three stages of the rovers production;
the project establishment, construction and the final testing for handover. Each area of risk
management establishes risks and associated hazards. The likelihood and severity of each
risk is assessed and potential mitigation is stated. Further, the residual risks that may occur
after mitigation are stated.
2.0 Risk Management Project Establishment

2.1 Miscommunication of the procedural instructions
2.1.1 Explanation of Hazard

The instructions outline exactly how to build the rover without malfunction or failure. By incorrectly
or only partially following the instructions during construction potential inconsistencies or
incongruent design may occur. Incorporating new design aspects may also fall into this potential risk.
Design changes may be acceptable, if team can prove that itll lead to improvement of the rover, but
should be presented to TECKS well in advance. If TECKS feels the changes will increase the risk of this
hazard, we will reject the proposal.
2.1.2 Likelihood and Severity

The likelihood of the method being miscommunicated or not being defined is possible. The
instructions have been carefully written and reviewed by all TECKS members to ensure that all
instructions are; free of error, free flowing, explicitly stated and detailed to ensure that this risk is
minimalised. However, it should be considered as a possible risk in case certain words or steps may
be misinterpreted.
The severity of the risk depends largely on the degree of differentiation and the number of steps
that were completed incorrectly. This could range from the total outcome to be moderate to severe.
This could lead to potential movement restriction for the rover, or damage to individual parts of the
rover.
2.1.3 Mitigation and Residual Risk

Its vital that the instructions are revised several times and read well before construction. All team
members should be familiar with the process and be well aware of the necessary level of detail
required to ensure all parts of the rover are constructed accurately and according to the
instructions. If the contracting team require clarification, the TECKS team are available to schedule a
meeting or to communicate via email, thus working to ensure an error need not occur.
Communication on this must occur well before the deadline so as to avoid further delays. If an error
were to occur in procedure the designers may be required to rebuilt the rover to the specifications.
The residual risk involved with the error can cause increased delays, financial restricted movement
of the actual rover. This could lead to an improper fall off the slope, or a potential loss of important
parts of the rover.
Page 2 of 8
2.2 Incorrect materials used
Failure to use the correct materials stated in the document could cause potential damage to
the individual parts that were constructed with said incorrect material, and may lead to
vehicle failure. One of the more susceptible parts that are vulnerable to this risk are the
wheels. There is potential for cracks, shattering or disconnection from the rover if incorrect
materials are used, leading to restriction of movement. If this were to occur there would be
failure in complying with the client brief.

The likelihood of wrong materials being used is unlikely. The document details all the
necessary materials with specific measurement and properties in an explicit and clear
manner. Through design and testing these materials have been pinpointed as the most cost
efficient and effective source of materials to be used when constructing the rover. The
availability has also been taken into consideration. Extreme care should be taken and TECKS
should always be notified of any potential design change well in advance .
The risk poses severe consequences if the chosen materials are extremely less efficient,
weak or ineffective compared to the listed materials. The instructions set do not account for
a change in material, and the design of the rover will not accommodate materials as
efficiently that do not match the quality of the specified materials. The severity is
susceptible to the possibility of other materials used in an attempt to modify or improve the
design of the rover.
When purchasing, acquiring or using the materials, ensure that the materials are the same
as the ones specified in the document. Checks should be made that the material is of the
acceptable quality, and that there is no damage, bends, scratches or any other defection
that could impact on the success of the rover.
2.3 Inadequate funding to complete the project

Should there be limited funding that could prevent the purchasing of materials needed for
construction, there could be potential delays in the construction phase, leading to increase
in work load and stress for the team to complete within the given schedule. Major risks
involved is, in an effort to avoid falling behind, alternative materials are introduced, or
purchasing of lower quality materials may occur. The other alternative is that materials are
sourced through third parties that cant provide acceptable quality in an attempt to reduce
this risk. This can also occur due to potential costs through the misconstruction of the rover,
highlighted by risks in section 2.1 and 2.2.
Page 3 of 8
The likelihood of this risk occurring is possible. TECKS has considered the budget of the
project and has allowed a margin for which any potential errors through misconstruction,
purchasing of wrong materials or any other source of adding unnecessary costs onto the
project. This means that its unlikely for the group to exceed the budget. This will only occur
in the unlikely scenario that a severe proportion of the budget is wasted, and hence less
quality materials have to be purchased because of this outcome.
The rover is under the budget requested in the client brief, however, unless recycled
materials are used, which is recommended by TECKS as well as the client, there is no room
for financial errors. TECKS team members are readily contactable if there are any queries
regarding the materials, and may be able to assist in purchase of materials if team cannot
certain find products.
The severity is moderate to severe. This is similar to 2.2 due to the design of the rover being
specific to the given materials listed in the document. Failure to purchase the correct
materials will have the same outcome as listed in 2.2
Whilst it is recommended the group recycle or find the materials for cheaper prices to save
money in the budget, care must be taken to ensure the correct and undamaged materials
are used, and that the budget isnt wasted through errors in purchasing of materials. Care
must be taken to ensure that the quality of the materials is acceptable contact TECKS if the
team is unsure whether or not the materials would be acceptable.
The residual risks for incorrect purchasing of materials are the same as 2.2, but failure to
allocate the budget will result in the whole rover being of a lower quality and be at risk of
being dysfunctional, depending on the construction process and the quality of materials
purchased.

3.0 Risk Management Construction
3.1 Misuse of Equipment

This risk involves damage both to the constructors and to the rover. There is potential for
the constructors to sustain injuries from the equipment through the misuse of it, damage to
the actual equipment and to the rover, depending on the severity of the misuse.
While the procedure doesnt require many extensive tools for the construction, some
specific tools such as the electric hand drill must be used, according to the instruction
provided with the tool to avoid such injury. This also applies to the rover, where the misuse
of the drill could lead to flaws in construction of the rover, and hence a less effective rover.

There is a possible likelihood of the risk occurring. As mentioned, the tools listed in the
procedure do not require much specialist knowledge, or any formal training or license to
operate. This risk is mostly applicable to any team members who are uncomfortable,
inexperienced or are unsure how to operate the equipment for the procedure.
There is a moderate or severe impact on all possible victims. Constructors who misuse
equipment are susceptible to injury on any body part. The damage to the rover will lean
towards the severe scale due to how its construction and how the misuse of the equipment
will affect the rest of the design. This could also cause potential financial setbacks if the
group need to replace any equipment, or could also lead to less members of the team
available if there is a sizeable injury that occurs.

Its vital that the instructions specified, both in the design specification and provided with
the tools are followed extensively and explicitly. Through the testing phase TECKS has tried
to eliminate all potential risks that may cause injury and damage as much as possible. TECKS
recommends team member with the most experience with specified tools handle the
respective steps in construction. If no member has prior experience, the group should
ensure that the member who feels most comfortable operating the tool should complete
the steps, and the instructions should be followed slowly to ensure that each step is done
perfectly and to avoid the risk of misusing the equipment. This includes wearing the
appropriate safety equipment during the contracting phase, which is safety glasses when
operating the drill and hot glue gun. Ensure that any personnel operating the tool has
privacy and support in case there is an accident. The residual risk, as stated, is the potential
for injuries to individual members that would prevent them from assisting in the
development of the rover, or any financial setbacks caused through the misuse of
equipment.
Page 5 of 8
3.2 Misreading of Procedure
The misreading of the procedure could result in:
Incorrect placement of individual parts

Using the wrong equipment
Incorrectly reading dimensions
Lack of detail and care taken, sloppy constructing
This will lead to errors in the rover, which could result in vehicle failure, the severity which
will be based on how many more errors are made, and the importance of the step that is
made with an error. For example, failure to cut out the hatch according to provided
dimensions could result in difficulties placing in the water bottle in the rover, or the bottle
falling out during testing.

There is a possible chance of the risk if the constructors are careless with the construction of
the rover, or the incorrect dimensions are used. This last point will have the biggest impact
on the design, and could have a potentially moderate severity on the design. Depending on
how early or late the error occurs in the construction phase, the group may be forced to
reconstruct the step, or if at a maximum, the whole part of the rover be reconstructed.

During each step in the instructions, care must be taken to ensure that:
All team members are fully aware of the instructions, and the severity of the error
should the instructions not be followed accurately.
All steps are read, and checked by all members and all queries should be resolved
through communication with TECKS. All actions match exactly what the instructions
state, and avoiding any unnecessary steps that the instructions do not specify.
Should any potential error occur, it should not be disregarded. The error must be
reported to TECKS, then fixed before the team can move on.
The tender evaluation lists criteria that should recruit a team that will avoid this risk,
including experience, professionalism and communication skills.
The residual risk is important when considering when the error is made. Should the team fail
to identify the error before moving on to the nest step in the procedure the error could
create a snowballing effect that will stimulate other errors. This could lead to the complete
failure of the rover.
Page 6 of 8
4.0 Risk Management testing
4.1 Incorrect Procedural Method

This risk occurs when an instruction isnt followed explicitly. Whilst it may be done correct
technically, the level of detail required could be lacking and hence lead to this risk. This may
still produce errors. Whilst it may not result in fatal errors as seen through the construction
risk management testing, the error will cause a deficiency in the design and could lead to
other small errors that will impact on the effectiveness of the rover. An example of this is
using too much bubble wrap to stuff between the wheel, causing the CD to retract away
from the cork and change the shape of the wheel.
The likelihood of this risk occurring is unlikely should the procedure be followed to the level
of detail required. The instructions prepared have been tested to ensure that every aspect
stated is important to the overall construction of the rover, and so following the procedure
will show the unlikeliness of the risk occurring. The severity ranges from low to moderate
depending on the error. The error stating above would be more moderate severity if the
wheel slightly changes shape to severe if the entire wheel becomes dysfunctional, causing
restricted movement to the rover. Some of the lower severe hazards include creating the
hatch space slightly too big or small, but not to an extensive amount.
Much like 3.2, the instructions must be carefully read to ensure that the risk doesnt occur.
The team should take the appropriate steps listed in 3.3 to ensure that the instructions are
fulfilled and followed to the extent to which they are written. The residual risk is the
sustainability of some of the individual parts of the rover, and how the error will affect
them. From the example of overstuffing bubble wrap, the dysfunctional wheel will cause the
rover to improperly move down the slope, which could lead to a harder and more damaging
landing, hence impeding the success of the design.
4.2 Axle bowing or misalignment

This risk can occur if the procedure is not followed to the correct level of detail required,
specifically during the construction of the wheels. Any error in the wheels could lead to the
bowing of the axle. This is an important part of the rover, as the axle and wheel impacts the
mobility of the rover and subsequently how well it will land off the slope. Should the axles
be misaligned, then the wheels may not touch the surface of the slope, and the fall of the
rover will have a more significant impact on the wheels.
There is a possible chance of the risk occurring If the procedure is incorrectly followed,
specifically during the construction of the wheel. This can also be a factor (although less
Page 7 of 8
likely) when the body of the rover is constructed, as the axle is designed to only hold the
weight of the body specified in the instructions provided. The risk can also occur if the
drawings are not checked to ensure that what the team is constructing matches up to what
the drawings suggest the ending design will appear to be.
The severity will be severe since the axle is one of the most significant part of the rover. The
rover cannot function if the axles bow, and will have a reduced mobility and potentially
more impactful landing. This could lead to the damaging or breaking of parts, or the rover
not properly landing on the bottom or top. The misalignment of the axles can cause damage
to the wheels or the reduced mobility of the rover.
Once again, ensure the instructions are properly followed and that care is taken to ensure
that any potential errors in the construction of the rover is identified and solved before
moving on to the next steps in the construction phase. The tender criteria should assist in
selecting experienced contractors that will follow the procedure correctly and carefully to
the required level of detail and precision. Ensure that any errors are identified immediately,
reported to TECKS, and fixed before moving on to the next set of instructions. The residual
risk is that the rover wont function effectively, and the impaired movement may cause
more severe falls during the testing phase, leading to potentially more damage to the rover
itself. It could also affect the teams financial budget should new materials are to be
purchased if there is an accident during testing, and damage both the teams and TECKS
reputation, should the rover fail.

tasks. Taking responsibility for your own task also includes seeking help when in need. Here
at TECKS we believe that individuals should be responsible for their work whilst encouraging
members to rely on one another.
Evidence:
All Meeting Minutes and Weekly Progress Report should be provided. Meeting Minutes is
evidence of the team being reliable and responsible; their ability to organise regular
meetings and commit to a schedule made is displayed. It should also show how each
members contribution during the meetings. Weekly Progress Reports should display each
members task, planned deadlines and degree of completion. This will help TECKS in
assessing each members reliability and responsibility.
