Introduction

Product Overview

The Power Wheels Ford Mustang is a toy car modeled after its real life counterpart. It is battery powered, and it functions in much the same way as a real vehicle would. It is designed for young children of ages 3 to 6 years old, and can operate indoors, on pavement, and on grass.

Team Overview

Group 20 is tasked with analyzing the Power Wheels Ford Mustang and presenting its findings on this wiki page, in individual gates. Each team member has a specific role to play in this project:

  • Mike Rossi: On-Site Manager
  • Zach Wilson: Remote Manager
  • Christopher Michels: Technical Editor in Chief
  • Joseph Glab: Head of Web Development
  • David Fijas: Head of Dissection Documentation
  • Shane Seefeldt: Head Dissection Specialist
