UT Senior Capstone Project Group #16

We are a group of 5 seniors at the University of Toledo all majoring in Mechanical Engineering Technology. Our project is to build a parallel parking that is to attach a device to the rear underbody of a car. The concept is to first park only the nose of the car into a parking spot, then having hydraulics lift the rear end of the car into the air, then slide the rear sideways into the parking spot, and then lowering the rear of the car. This makes parallel parking easier and more convenient.This web page is for only used to share pictures of our progression through our project. Constructive comments are appreciated. NOTE: 2 different cameras were used to take the pictures. A good one(Al's) and a homemade junky one (David's ^o^).
