The goal of this gate of the project is to complete a detailed analysis of our Snow Blower. In this stage we examined the product at the component and subsystem level, gathering and analyzing detailed information, past what we did in the previous two gates. This proses entailed the revision of our parts list form gate two to include the manufacturing processes used to create each part as well as applicable part numbers on the parts. Also we analyzed some parts in more depth creating solid models and also suggested design revisions which could be made to our product.
