Problem Statement

WashU Racing needs a device that will help them transport their Formula SAE car to and from their garage/paddock during events and testing when the car is unable to move under its own power. Pushing the car is very exhausting and requires at least 2 pairs of people, rotating in and out, to push the car. An electronically assisted push bar would only require two people to push the car and wouldn't experience exhaustion due to pushing the car. This device will function similarly to a shopping cart tug while also functioning as a rear jack for the vehicle that will for the rear wheels to be quickly removed.
