Here are some of the initial designs that our group came up with during the weekend. These brainstorming sketches display everyone's different take on the kinetic sculpture. In total, we accumulated twelve designs and discussed them during class.
This Pugh Chart exhibits the four mechanisms that we narrowd down from the original twelve. After much discussion, we listed out the different properties and characteristics each mechanism would have. Properties include durability, accuracy, appearance, ease of fabrication, and the number of parts it will take to make. After determining the pros and cons of the designs, we assembled everything onto the pugh chart below. The total was calculated by adding all of the values together. From this data, we settled on the Color Sorter and Goal Keeper for our mini sculpture.
