Hi folks,
Somewhat of an odd introduction coming up here, but I hope that the result is some good research
Okay. So, first thing first. My name is Richard and I'm a student at Coventry University. How very boring.
However, I've come here on a hunt for the most valuable of resources, information. After looking through your forums, it seems that you're pretty damn well informed and could well help me out.
The short of it is this: I'm on a Transport Design course and am starting a major project, of which the focal point is a collaboration with students in Colombia. The Colombian students have proposed that we create an emergency assistance vehicle, to cope with all terrains.
My part in this research phase is to gather information about MUD AND WATER. Oh yes, it all sound very delicious, does it not? So, I'm here to see what sort of information I can gather about the modifications needed for driving through copious amounts of mud and water. For example, what parts of the vehicle are likely to be affected? What kind of tyres are needed? Any information that anyone could give me at this stage would be very much appreciated.
Buuuuut first, I'll need pointing in the right direction. I don't think it's very appropriate to ask such questions in the introduction area, so if anyone could point me to the most relevant area of this forum, I'd be extremely grateful!
Cheers guys!
