Hello everyone,

Did anyone send their hardware? I'm still waiting to be contacted...

Hi Guys.

Here's the judging criteria Leeds Beckett will be using on your builds.

Last week I sent the email indicating my Intention to Submit my completed project, as stated in the "Sudden Impact Challenge - The Final Week" but I haven't received any instructions about where to send the project. Does anyone know this information?

Best Wishes,

Cosmin

Hello [mention:e95cffeb0a3c41eb97fab167df4e3772:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] ,

I had send in a second order of parts but I have not heard back a confirmation or rejection, I know I most likely won't have anything that could compete but I'm not giving up just because I am behind. I seem to be in a very similar boat to Joshua but even if I have to go past the deadline and I'm disqualified I would like to see myself come up with the product I envisioned. Any Information about whether or not the email was received would be appreciated.

Thankfully

Kas

The Leeds Beckett test requirement has been clear from the start, but it certainly adds greatly to the degree of difficulty - far beyond what an actual product development would encounter. The possibility of disqualification if your device fails is an extremely high bar to set for any first prototype, especially a prototype that is expected to be in a high physical shock environment. It can take many design iterations to adequately protect such devices. To make it even more challenging, the test plan from Leeds Beckett is unknown - we don't know what accelerations will be applied or how they will be applied. It is indeterminate if you can even design a device to survive a test regimen when you don't know what the tests will be. In a product design scenario, even when your device performs well to the design objectives, it may need to be tested to destruction, to see what the limits are. I doubt any of the contestants is making enough devices to test any to destruction, so it will be tough to test or ensure high impact performance because you run the risk of disqualification with every test before it is even ready to send for evaluation at Leeds Beckett. This means we can't really push the limits for fear we will have nothing to evaluate. So I guess we just do some relatively "safe" tests before sending the system for evaluation, and cross our fingers that they will perform to an adequate level in the final tests....

As my project is incomplete due to my changing circumstances my solution is incomplete.

I'll continue to work on this after the deadline.

However, this is in effect self-disqualifying with good reason. I let you all down and I feel awful about it, however I have ever decreasing time now and it became difficult for me to balance life with Sudden Impact.

So sorry once again.

hii [mention:e95cffeb0a3c41eb97fab167df4e3772:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05],

After evaluation of our projects at leeds beckett, do we get this setup shipped back to us...?
