Did our solutions solve the problem successfully?
While our project functioned and solved the problem by deploying sunglasses, in its current state, it is impractical.
It is bulky and uncomfortable to wear.
It is fragile, especially the connection of the servo to the servo arm.
On occasion, the servo arm would rotate farther than the coded target angle, causing it to pull itself off of the servo arm before being able to correct the angle.
Many of the technical problems listed above could have been ironed out with more testing and prototyping, however, we could not perform more testing or prototyping due to the limited project timeframe, which was too short for multiple discarded part prints, meetups, and construction sessions.
If we were to continue with our project, we would:
Implement a better servo-to-sunglasses attachment, as the one used during testing broke often and was difficult to reattach.
Account for servo over-rotation by limiting the servo movement to small steps.
Make the product less bulky by designing a frame which contains the electronics, or move them to a wearable box, both of which would also allow it to be worn in the rain.
