Like a fish roaming in water. 如魚在水中翱游般。
The vehicle is a device for spatial switching, which can bring the human body or consciousness to other places, experiencing the continuous change of feeling by the process of spatial replacement.
“Experiencing the journey of transportation”, our vehicle travels by using “body” and “feeling” to strengthen the body’s feelings.
The relationship between the vehicle and the rider is like “fish” and “fishtail”. Manipulating the vehicle is as easy and natural as the extension of the body. It uses the center of gravity to shift the direction, not just using a part of the body.
Research the roll assist system and the suspension system, then transform them to the vehicle.
交通工具是空間切換的裝置，可以將人的身體或易是感受從此地帶到彼地的載具，體驗空間至換的歷程所造成連續性的感受變化。
以「體驗搭乘交通工具之歷程所帶給我們的感受」為出發點來設計，因此我們的這台車的行進方式，便是運用「身體」及「感受」，強化身體對操控車子的感受來達到所謂的移動。
這台車跟乘坐的操控者之關係就如「魚」和「魚尾」的關係一般，操縱載具的感受就像是自身操縱身體的延伸依樣輕鬆自然，利用身體重心偏移控制方向，而不只單純使用身體的某個部位。
研究側傾輔助系統以及懸吊系統，改造並應用於車子，來達到運用身體及感受操縱。

Mechanism Research & Testing
- ROLL ASSIST SYSTEM 側傾輔助系統
It is a kind of independent suspension system. It is a vehicular system made up of springs, shock absorbers and linkages for connecting a vehicle and its wheels. It plays the role of maintaining the comfort for the rider and decreasing noise, bounce and vibration.
The independent suspension system allows the individual tires to jump and undulate. Furthermore, it doesn’t pull each other to affect the vehicle’s running balance; instead it increases handling and comfort.
屬於懸吊系統的獨立懸吊的一種。為一種由彈簧、減震筒和連桿所構成的車用系統，用於連接車輛與其車輪，扮演保持車主的舒適性及隔絕是當的路面噪音、彈跳與震動的角色。
汽車底盤採獨立懸吊系統，可使各個車輪輪胎獨立跳動起伏，不會互相拉扯影響車輛行駛平衡，增加操控性與舒適性

- INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION SYSTEM 獨立懸吊機構
The linkages on both sides are parallelograms for maximum flexibility.
Renovation of independent suspension system:
- The linkages on both sides are trapezoidal to avoid losing balance when the angle is too large, and the difference in the inclination of the two sides are used to make a small shift.
- Two springs on each side pull each other for balance by producing reaction force. Besides, putting springs here have the effect of shock absorption.
兩側連桿機構呈現四邊形，達到最大靈活度。
改造獨立懸吊機構：
- 兩側連桿機構改為梯形，避免角度過大時失去平衡，同時利用兩邊傾斜程度的差異，造成小篇幅的轉向。
- 兩側各兩條彈簧，使上下、左右皆產生相對的反作用力，且具有避震效果。
