DUE 3/
Objectives:
The final prototype iteration is clearly and fully explained and is constructed with enough detail to assure that objective data on all or nearly all design requirements could be determined.
All attributes (sub-systems) of the unique solution that can be tested or modeled mathematically are addressed.
Well-supported justification is provided for those attributes that cannot be tested or modeled mathematically and thus require expert review.
Reflective Questions:
What is the plan to test the prototype design and how can I show others that the testing plan for each design requirement is a well thought our test and would yield believable data?
To test the prototype design, the additional taste based repellent layer, we would need to yield believable data by setting up multiple tests in our group members' backyard.

Virtual solutions explored
Mock ups
Testable parameters defined

Discuss what came up during the building that had to be modified to meet your goals.
Prototype #1: Plasti-Dip with Capsaicin
Scooping the Plasti-Dip into a tray
Preparing the Plasti-Dip by mixing in capsaicin
Coating a wire with the Capsaicin + Plasti dip to complete prototype #1
Alternative method of applying the Cap + Plasti mixture with a paintbrush
Prototype #2: Heat shrink over a capsaicin solution
Oil base for Capsaicin heat shrink solution
Painted on oil prior to putting on heat shrink
Shrinking heat shrink on
Prototype #3: Bee's wax + Capsaicin rub on cable
Bee's wax for mixture
Capsaicin droplets with bee's wax mixture
Finished mixture
Prototype #4: Bee's wax + Capsaicin rub + heat shrink on cable
Capsaicin droplets with bee's wax mixture from previous test
Lined cable inserted into heat shrink
For our second test, we decided to test out the validity of using plasti dip in our experiment by setting up one wire with capsaicin and plasti dip, and the other wire with just plasti dip.
