Feedback + new prototypes

This last Tuesday, we did a small presentation of our prototype and got some new feedback. We need to focus more on the most important aspects such as the assemblies and the flexible material. It should be used in a more essential way in the product. We should also think more about the dimensions and how to make the table out of the basket, without having to put your food on the ground.

For these reasons, we made some new prototypes with a focus on these issues. 

PROTOTYPE 1 

The main material is flexible, held together by tubes (see drawings). The prototype is based on a tent; quick and easy to open and close it.

PROTOTYPE 2 

In this prototype, we use the flexible material to make sure that the surface of the table is bigger than the surface of the basket. When the product is a basket, the flexible material are pockets (for example, it can be used for cutlery and small objects).

PROTOTYPE 3 

It has three functionalities, because the basket can be changed into a bag for the bike or into a simple basket. 

We chose to work with the second prototype. This week we will think about other possible legs/handles for the table/ basket because this isn't optimal yet. We will also think about the dimensions more in detail to see if the table will be big enough, if the basket will be easy to carry, ...

We also made a 1:1 prototype of the second idea. This was the result :

The size of the basket seemed a little bit big, but the size of the surface of the table is ok.
