Week 9: (Outside-Lab) Final Touches and Preparation for Presentation

This week, our team finished up some of the final touches on the walker. After each hook was attached to the side frames for the braking system, the team decided to "jazz" up the look of the finished product. With the presentation in mind, the team chose to paint the walker a dark blue color to give it an overall polished finish. Although the foam padding on the arm rests weren't added like planned, the prototype successfully achieved our initial problem statements.

This design was targeted towards the elderly community, therefore the dark blue gives it a more appealing and upbeat look when compared to the conventional silver walkers on the market. Although this is just a prototype, our team would hope to appeal to different targeted audiences besides the chosen elderly community.

Overall, our team is really impressed with the way our final product came out. Not only did this follow our initial design, but exceeded our highest expectations.

Aside from finishing the walker, the team continued to work on the presentation and deliverables required for this product.
