Gallery Walk- 10/24

October 24, 2013

Deliverable: 3 Best Ideas Gallery Walk and Project Specifications

Today we chose three designs and made a Pugh chart to compare them. We drew the designs on print paper and, during the gallery walk, our classmates wrote their opinions, questions, and comments on Post-it Notes. (The exact comments are listed below).








Comments on the Original Design:
*Hard to twist?
*How did you solve this? [When mounting and dismounting the bike, the bike's gears get caught on the stand]
*What is the current cost of creating one bike stand? How can cost be reduced?
*Easy to make anywhere there's welding
*Where does the bike go?
*How does it fold?

Comments on Idea #1:
*Why wing screw?
*How does it fold?
*Stability of base structure
*What if a bike is very different in design?
*Width still constrained by 12" base
*Width is still constrained by 12" length of the base.

Comments on Idea #2:
*What if wheel bolts are different sizes?
*Is this [hub] design uniform for all bikes (or most)?
*How does this accommodate different bike sizes?
*Why wing screw?
*What if a bike is very different in design?
*Way to separate bike when needed for transport?

Comments on Idea #3:
*How is a wider base stable?
*Stability?
*How much of a difference will this make v. #1?
*There are possibly small parts that could be lost
*Interesting- how much harder is this to make?
*Is it stable enough to stay while vigorously biking?

Comments in general:
*Interesting!
*I like the simplicity!
*Yes!
*Good idea -->
*Easy to make anyone there's welding

We have several tasks to accomplish quickly, within the next week:

-Plan for prototyping- Figure out what materials we need
-Figure out clear goal
-Figure out questions to ask community partner/Talk to community partner
-Look at bikes on campus
