Week 6 - Material Search


We began searching for material to build the prototype. We have found a tool that we could possibly use at a CVS retail store. However, we are currently debating whether the material from the CVS brand will be sturdy enough to build a proficient prototype. We are currently searching for a better material for the same object at a price that is not too expensive. We plan to find the material prior to the weekend and begin building the prototype during the weekend. 
Magnets will be bought from our friendly neighborhood Home Depot. We plan on buying gorilla glue or wood glue in order to keep the magnets on the door. We are also currently trying to find some way to test the prototype in an accurate manner. We plan to ask a friend that smokes cigarettes to quick for a day, giving them a slight tremor. However we hope to find a better tester such as a real Parkinson’s patient to test the prototype.
