Period 3 Final Challenge

-Define the Problem (1pt) the problem we are trying to solve is to try and make it easier for a college student to put there bike in there dorm/studio apartment and make it so it doesnt get in the way of the student or damage property.
-Brainstorm Solutions (2pts) my idea is is to go out and buy some bike racks and then drill them into the wall, but the wall is close to the ceiling and put the bike up there. Another solution is to make a under the floor storage area so then you can just pull up on the latch and put the bike under the ground.
-Define Criteria and Constraints (2pts) Criteria- A principle or standard by which something may be judged or decided. Constraints- A limitation or restriction or stiffness of manner and inhibition in relations between people
-Generate Sketches (2pts)-Select an Approach: Use a Decision Matrix to justify your approach (2pts)
-Model your solution with CAD software: Post an Isometric view of your assembly and a multiview drawing. (3pts)
decision matrix./ sketch
-Use the 4 Quadrant Feedback technique to asses your model (3pts) my feedback was that i need to mabey make a better sketch and to add more detail which i could easily do. i also have tons of more id i though ideas that i though of.

Glider Challenge: Deliverables

Right below this is my glider. My first picture is my actual glider that we flow. It is made out of false wood and tissue paper. The other picture is my glider that i put together in the CAD program (prototype).
My glider didnt really work as well as i wanted it to. Actually our pre run worked better than our final throw. Right when we thew it off the balcony it just went straight down with no hang time! I do have to say it was a fun time making it.
