Kids Mist: A tool that allows kids with CP to engage in more water activities outside.

The initial goal for the project was being able to provide a method for kids with CP to water plants in that garden at McMains. The original design was a irrigation system based on a system of over hanging tubes that sprayed water in different sections of the garden. While the initial idea was good, it was to complex for the scope of this class, and also ran into logistical issues, such as being able to hang tubes from an overhead structure, and running pipes along the ground. The original idea behind this prototype was then taken and designed into something more portable. This final project is a portable water cannon turret with a modular and removable water reservoir solution to allow full motion and ultimate portability.

The goal for the water cannon turret is to allow kids with CP participate in water games with other friends and family. It allows them full range of motion, portability with their wheel chairs, and control system adaptability for each individual student.
