Post 3 - TECH 8

Was your sketch radically different from the final prototype?

Our sketch was not that different from the final prototype; the only difference was that we forgot to add wheels in the sketch, which we added on the final prototype. We also added another layer of shelves.

Briefly describe how your prototype satisfied the design criteria.

Our prototype had places to fit the 3D printers, the Roland, as well as extra filament and drawers.

Did your group assign particular jobs for each person? If so, how did you establish the job assignments?

Kavin was the leader and director of the group. Since it was his design, he knew what to do and assigned everyone in our group a role. Tristen and I measured the pieces of wood out, sanded them once they were cut out, and drilled them into the base of each level. Nick was the designated cutter before he moved to drilling, which led Varun to be the cutter for the remainder of the project.

Briefly describe (no one-word answers!) how well or not your group communicated during the building process.

During the beginning of the project, we did not work very efficiently. We worked like we had all the time in the world. However, our group communicated very well during the end of building process because we realised that we had procrastinated a lot and we were left with very little time. Surprisingly, we got to work and did not get distracted while the deadline came closer.

On a scale of 1-4 with 4 being outstanding, how well did your group collaborate? (Please do not name names or disparage others in your post). Any additional insights or thoughts you have are also welcome.

I would say that on a scale of 1-4, my group was a 3 on collaboration. While we did not do a lot during the beginning of the project, towards the end, we were able to finish our prototype due to communication and collaboration.
