2.1.8 Reflection on the Design Package Review

The contractors from 3 respective groups have proposed suggestions and improvements on the
design package of company Boost. After tendering the improvements they proposed, we have
already chosen which to accept and which to reject.

First of all, in the case of Crimson Enterprise, they suggested that the improvement can be
made is to lower down the cost, which a new material list is made with mostly recycled products as
materials. We accept this and think this is a good idea to improve our Design Package. Besides that,
lubricating oil is suggested to be applied on the pencil axle in order to make it move more smoothly,
and sponge to be put in the inner corner part of the base to absorb shock during impact. These are
all good ideas in way to improve our design. Therefore, company Boost accepts all of these
improvements and will try to make them happen in our design.

On the other hand, we have proposed improvements suggested by Phantom Enterprise. They
suggested to use hot glue gun to replace superglue/foam glue in the process of sticking the
polystyrene and the plywood. This idea will not be accepted as this is an inappropriate way,
because hot glue gun will melt down the polystyrene. Furthermore, replacement of the materials of
the wheels with hard materials. In my opinion, this improvement is unnecessary as our wheels have
the bottle cap as the rim which is hard enough to sustain during impact. The last suggestion is using
a velcro tape to prevent the bottle from falling out, and this idea is accepted and will be applied in
our design.

Last but not least, in the case of last group, A.W.D INC, they did not provide any of the
improvements and suggestions. Therefore, there is no reflection to be made against them.
