AB  - Longboards are a great mode of transportation, but there is not a cost effective and secure way for students to secure their boards on college campuses with peace of mind, knowing that their boards will not be stolen. Typically, longboards are left leaning up against walls or lying on the floor in classrooms and hallways, which is not only a safety hazard but can also cause damage. In order to remedy this problem, a longboard storage rack is being proposed. By utilizing a longboard rack, facilities would be cleaner and safer, which would save costs in maintenance. Anyone that longboards would also benefit, as they would have a safe and secure place to leave their boards.
Constraints, such as size and location were considered before developing evaluation metrics. Some of the evaluation metrics created were the number of longboards that could be held as well as the cost of production for the rack.
Research was conducted to determine competition for longboard racks as well as determine background information on longboards and other board-like modes of transportation. The team sent out a survey to the students of Ohio Northern University’s College of Engineering to gain information such as frequency of longboards entering the building as well as the size differences in boards. After research, the team moved to ideation. Many ideas were generated by designing individual components and then combining ideas for a full model. Some of those categories include the following: board holding method, locking mechanism, and board orientation. After ideation, the team moved on to concept reduction. 
The concept reduction resulted in a welded steel final design. To justify this design, two calculations were made. The first calculation justified the weight and height of the rack by finding the force required to tip it over. This calculation caused the team to change the height and increase the weight at the bottom. The second calculation justified the weld strengths for each weld. 
In order to visualize the solution better, the team designed a low fidelity prototype. The model allowed the team to physically test the spacing of the components as well as the overall size of the rack. This prototype caused the team to shorten the height of the rack to be more user-friendly.
