  2. Michael Moore’s and David Blank’s design were very similar. They both were easy to maintain, cheap, stable, and safe designs. However, the team thought the design wasn’t very durable due to it bending quite easily. Jacob Li’s and Michael Tefend’s design were also very similar with both being durable, easy to maintain, safe, and inexpensive. The only concern with this design was with it being a vertical design, the team didn’t know how stable it would be on the tracks.
  3. The team decided to advance with David’s and Michael T’s designs.
