Abstract
The purpose of this design project is to create a durable lightweight yard game for players of all skill levels. Carbon Cornhole is a composite improvement on the already popular yard game, cornhole, with a new twist. The final product is based on valued feedback from customers. The board is manufactured of carbon fiber/epoxy sandwich panels with a closed cell foam core. The composite design provides a lightweight product. The panels are specifically manufactured to retain their mechanical properties when exposed to outdoor elements such as water and UV radiation. The addition of inlayed LED lights and two new "skill holes" allows for a new playing experience and the ability to play at night. The addition of 3D printed feet allows for the board to be played on multiple different outdoor surfaces such as grass, gravel, or concrete. Testing on the finished product will ensure the customer experiences years of enjoyment from their purchase.
