Refining the Design
10.Refining the Design
Based on your tests, what design refinements should be made to the prototype to ensure that it can
satisfy all of the criteria and constraints of the design problem.
Refinements
Our tests revealed that the placement of the string put too much pressure on our build to carry more
than 1800 grams. If I could go back and fix our prototype, I would make our build more stable and place
the string is a less constricting position.
