Early design considerations

One of our early considerations was a stool using triangles like corrugation.

Final design considerations

We have chosen Niko's design in the process of making Anissa's design which we were going to use triangles. We choose Niko's design from when we were suppose to make our own design and with the other members of the team to choose the best one. Nikolai had finished first while Anissa and I were still making ours. So that's how we choose Niko's design.

How we scaled up our prototype

The team and I used a scale factor of 14 which Nikolai had choosen and we agreed t.o First we used a scale factor of 15 before we choose 14. The scale measurements were too big so we choose 14 instead of 15

Teamwork reflections

We took a different approch towards our design. First we where going to do Anissa's desgin my project Manager but then since Niko had his design done for the chair we took his design instead of Anissa's. We didn't sometimes work together. Like sometimes Anissa would only be the one doing the cutting of the cardboard when Niko is absent. Mostly I was the only one that was here for engeneerring for our chair project. Anissa in the beginning was bossy and still is. She wouldn't let me cut the cardboard because I screwed up 5 times she told me. We sometimes had a argument over what happens.

Improvements

The improvents we can make are the following:

  • Better teamwork
  • Having respect for one another
  • Not complaning for something that is dumb
  • Letting one another use something
  • Calling names
