Abstract

SD F25 Team 21 Cover

A team of seven mechanical engineers developed a novel interlock device featuring a gear-based lock and laser input. The 6” x 6” x 6” system is housed in a waterproof, dustproof enclosure designed for LANL. Rigorous testing ensured durability, shock resistance, and reliability. The team used system integration to combine both the mechanical and electrical systems, creating a seamless design.
