Compete in the 2006 Competition!
"Sip-and-Puff" Controlled Fishing Rod for Quadraplegics

Several years ago the ASME Student Design Contest centered around designing and demonstrating a device which could accurately and repeatedly cast a specified simulated fishing lure, and which could be operated orally by a paraplegic with a "sip and puff" set of switches.

Scoring in that contest was based primarily on the accuracy of the cast, and required the use of a specific fishing rod and reel. The contest rules were on the web, where they were found by many people who were related to or wished to help a particular paraplegic friend. Numerous requests were received for information on where such a device could be obtained. Clearly there is a need for a device which will allow a paraplegic to enjoy fishing, and who better than ASME students to supply the designs? It is time to revisit this contest with some changes!

All Contestents agree to abide by the ASME Code of Ethics (required reading)
