Water Truck Arm
Problem Statement
Horse track consistency reduces the need for horses to adapt to surface changes and reduces likelihood of slipping. A primary cause of inconsistency is moisture content across the track. One method of controlling water content uses a truck with an arm. As the water truck moves along the track, sprayers distribute the water at a constant rate. During a turn, the arm at the inside of the track moves slower than the outside, causing inconsistent surface moisture around curves.
