INTRODUCTIONThe concept of robust design was introduced by Genichi Taguchi, and popularized in the U.S.following his visit to Bell Laboratories in the mid-1980’s. Since this technique has becomeimportant in industry, the topic has been included in many undergraduate engineering statisticscurricula.

Selection of 0.25x1.5x1.5inch iron angles for the frame was based on experience for proper rigidity. Compressive stresses inthe legs due to wheel weight and the dynamic forces were checked and were found to be verysmall.

Over the years the experiments have changed and the course requirementshave evolved. A special emphasis on safety was introduced in 1982 (Crowl, Pintar, et al., 1994;Hubbard, Pintar, and Crowl, 1994; Pintar, 1999; Pintar, King, and Crowl, 1998; Pintar, 1998;Pintar, 1985; Pintar, 1983; and Pintar, Hubbard, and Crowl, 1993).
