Design Brief

Client Company: Hobby Spectacle, Inc.


Target Consumer: Society
Problem Statement: A leading hobby company is looking to
improve an existing launcher design. The device must launch a
projectile using the materials provided. The device must be
adjustable so that projectile launches can be precise at varying
distances. The winning design will receive cash for a patent that
can be mass-produced as a kit and sold to the public. Members
from the company will be present during the launching phase of
the process.
Design Statement: Build and test a device that will launch a
projectile varying distances with precisions and accuracy. Make
improvements as needed to meet constraints
Constraints: Must be adjustable to different angles including 10,
20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 degrees, must have the same initial
velocity at any adjusted angle, must launch a projectile at least
15 ft.

Reflections
1. What I learned from this report is that we got the entire ballistic
device working.
2. The challenges of working in a design team is that we need to
work faster.
3. The purpose of the design problem is to learn more about how
fast my partners and I should do something faster so we can
share and turn it in on time.
