Football Player
A powered mechanism to attach to a powered wheelchair for playing football.
BIME has received requests for a design that will enable wheelchair users to play football. There are no products that allow a wheelchair user to take part in a game of football, yet it is one of the most popular sports amongst able-bodied children aged between 7-16. BIME aim to introduce an innovative product, and game to allow children who use a wheelchair to express themselves as fully as possible. It will also increase their opportunities to play and interact with their peers.To this end, a prototype is being developed, which will actively trap an incoming ball and at the push of a button fire the ball out again.
