Team 7: Legless Rocker

---

Description of Project

The Passionworks Studio in Athens, Ohio, provides a setting for artists with disabilities to pursue their interests. It is important for the artists to have an environment that promotes the creative process. The legless rocker provides the residents with an enjoyable experience while they develop new artistic ideas.

An electronically controlled legless rocker with a self-rocking motion has been requested for the Multisensory Stimulation Room at the Passionworks facility. Activation of the rocking motion must be through a simple switch that a user with special needs will be capable of controlling. Further, caretakers must be capable of turning the chair on and off through a switch that is not accessible to the user in the chair.

In addition, a speaker system to provide sensory stimulation to the chair user has been requested. Like the rocking motion, the choice to have music play out of the speakers will be controllable by the user through the use of a simple switch, with the caretakers having control of the power, volume, and specific music to be played.
