project intro
Reverse engineering is when you take something apart and see how it works instead of putting it together. First step is visual analysis. You look at the object and see what elements and principles of design are used. Functional analysis is when you see how the object works. How does this part function. Lastly is structural analysis. This is when you look and see how the object is built. What materials, how much does it weigh, and how much is the density, etc.Possible enhancements may include a tablet for the kids because all the kids these days need their tablet. Talking car, integrate google home or Alexa. We were thinking of a trailer hitch and trailer as an attachment.

My parents were impressed. They thought that I made the truck and added modifications. I told them that the parts were already made and I just assembled it. They like the tablet idea since these days all kids want is their tablet. They made a suggestion that the hitch have a trailer attached to it. I told them I just didn't have enough time.

Bryant was an OK partner. He had good ideas and is good at inventor. But he is really quiet and hard to talk to. He was absent for one of the days so I didn't know what to do. It was the first day. The inventor part he was really good at. He made the trailer hitch really good and super quickly. for some reason Bryant changed the final design without telling me. He added weird wheels that didn't even look good. We all ready had two modifications and attachments. My inventor skills are still the same because the tablet is easy to make. Bryant made the trailer hitch.
The factors that need to be considered are when you are thinking of ideas it needs to be towards a certain type of child. Also, how easy is it to add the modification or attachment. Will it take a long time. You should document your brainstorming so if people copy you you have proof that the idea was yours first. You need to sketch your ideas so that you know what it will look like.
