The challenge for us was that we were creating a world first, something that had never been made before. Along with Design + Industry in Melbourne, our goal was to create self-contained, self-propelled, wireless golf buggy wheels.
On the electronics front the key challenges in the design were the integration of many components into the wheel space available (motor, electronics, battery, mechanics) and the coordination of the wheel behaviour without the benefit of a physical wired connection between them. Most importantly, the system had to be easy to use and last for 27 holes before needing to be recharged.
