Hercules x FLIT 2021 was an 8 week long project that consisted of a team of 5 undergraduate students, led by Charles Gai. The project began on 5th July with applicant interviews and the first client meeting taking place on 12th July.
FLIT is an engineering company based in Cambridge that specialises in foldable E-Bikes. We were tasked with developing a functional test rig that performed various tests on their bike frames; these tests explored their mechanical, thermodynamic and UV - resistance properties, to name but three. Over the course of the project, work was conducted with a hybrid of in-person and online engagement. Furthermore, structured weekly progress meetings were held with FLIT.
Working with HC was great. We had the chance to work with a team of driven students who were a good fit for the project. All reporting and time management was taken care of by HC. We are looking forward to working with HC again soon!
