Early design considerations

a support of a honey comb and circles with a cool shape. this was originally all honey comb and no circle. the outside was alwys the shape that it is now.
Un fortunatly our prototype was then destroyesd. All we have now is  the  measurements.

Final design considerations

We change the inside so that it would be more supportive of the rear easier to make and stronger. we got rid of the honey comb idea for purposes of time and amount of cardboard.

How we scaled up our prototype

We turned the centimeters into inches and multiplied by  10. We had to change the shape a little to fit a human.

Teamwork reflections

We worked pretty well and really hard, but there were some problems espeically when we lost a member and gained a new one. It was definatley for the best.

Improvements

Some people or person in our group should work harder and be nicer and some could become a little less bossy and a little more laidback.
