Little Blue Dune Buggy

Abstract

Friends of the Dunes, the client, teamed up with Cal Poly Humboldt's Engineering introduction to design class to design and construct various aspects of the Humboldt Coastal Nature Center (HCNC). Team Little Blue Dune Buggy was formed to design and implement trail lighting from the parking lot to specific events hosted at the HCNC. Little Blue Dune Buggy consists of Kyle Sipes, Kyle Page, Laythen Martines, and Curtis Beaudry. Many brainstorming sessions resulted in several alternative solutions for the trail lighting. Each of these solutions were compared and scored according to how well they met specified criteria. The final solution was chosen through this process and several discussions with the client. The implemented solution consists of an on site solar powered light charging station.
