Riga I

EDT Engineering Graduate visits his former College in Riga

The London Eye Project involves students working in teams to build the basic components of the structure out of "heavy duty" paper. The struts which are held together with plastic nuts and bolts need to be carefully connected in order to create the wheel. The testing point comes when the wheel is finally assembled onto a special stand and tested for the "wobble" factor.

The students at RTK worked incredibly well in their teams and produced an excellent wheel, with barely a detectable wobble.
