Robb Nelson
Future Mechanical Engineer
Greetings all,
My name is Robb Nelson. I'm an avid outdoorsman, enjoying everything from backpacking, canoeing, kayaking, rock climbing, mountain biking, trail running. and mountaineering.
Currently I'm in my 4th and final year at the University of Waterloo, studying Mechanical Engineering. Are there any other engineers here?
Part of our study requirements is to complete a design project in our 4th year. My team and I are a collection of outdoor enthusiasts aiming to design a portage stability enhancement device - a device designed to transfer the suspended load from the shoulders to the hips, and offer self-stabilization during the portage.
As such, we are currently in the conceptual stage and looking to acquire input/feedback/experiences from outdoor enthusiasts. I've compiled a short survey/form with less than 10 questions that will greatly help us determine the needs of the paddling community.
Now, as per forum policy I'm aware that I'm not allowed to post any links until I've achieved 3 posts. Hopefully this rule might be swayed in this case (admin?) I'm not trying to sell anything, simply gather information that will hopefully help our collective community. Being in school, it is difficult to conduct interviews with enough people to achieve a suitable sample size, so I thought it would be in our best interest to explore forums.
Thanks alot for everyones future help!
