Hello!
Mid-February we met in Scott and over Zoom to finalize what we wanted to purchase for this prototyping round. We sent in our purchase request but some miscommunication meant we didn’t physically handle anything until yesterday, Monday, March 1. We learned what we can do to improve our purchasing and make it easier for the chain of people helping us acquire things.
So finally we met Tuesday to assemble our prototypes and work through their benefits and downfalls. It went really well. We were able to make a better-defined prototype for the floor panels (which we have decided from here on to call the “rolling back panels”) and the side panels (aka “sliding side panels”).
Additionally, we worked through a persona for each design we’re working on which we think will help ground our arguments and make the problem more tangible.
We are getting there! In Prototype 3, we’re hoping to work through a few different hinge configurations as well as different wheels. And we have begun seriously investigating the panel material of choice.
This project is shaping into something really cool.
