Design Brief Template 1

Google has tasked designers Brandon Halley and Mark Hutchinson with designing a compound machine to raise a flag using a human effort force. The compound machine must include at least three mechanisms from gears, belts/pulleys, and sprockets/chains to provide a mechanical advantage over 1. It must be constructed from VEX parts within 4 class periods to solve the problem.
