If Doraemon's Takecopter succeeded, he would instantly die by breaking his kneck, float in mid-air, and slowly turn in the opposite direction of the propeller's rotation
On Nov. 11, 2013, Lady GAGA flew 70 inches above stage!

Present your EVAC chair alternative
Identify your group project goal
Homework - due Dec. 20 (Reassigned since no one found all the right solutions. The best was 6)
Rules:
- 3rd Angle Views
- All faces are flat, but the face normals do not have to match the Cartesian coordinate system.
- A hidden line is dotted and always shown, except when it overlaps a visible line that hides it
- The solid is a 3-manifold, i.e., all surface points on your solid have to be homeomorphic to a disk.
Assignment: Draw the missing side views of the following 3rd angle drawings. Draw as many as you can figure out.
Hints:
- There are 18 distinctively different side views that satisfy the conditions.
- 6 pairs out of the 18 are the same object viewed from different sides, thus, there are 12
distinctively different solids that satisfy the conditions.
- Each solution's mirror image is another distinct member of the solution set, thus,
none of the solutions is symmetric.

Nakao
Build you own alternative for EVAC chair
Comments:
Function Requirements (FR) on the left side should be in the form "Verb + Object".
FR should spread out to the right.
Structure (also called Design Parameter (DP)) on the right should be "Nouns".
DP should spread out to the left
Do not collect too many sub-elements into a single element.

Final Report - due Jan.27
- Text Page (1 A4page)
- Name of your solution (be creative)
- Member list
- Problem Statement
- Motivation
- Brainstorm results (1 A4 sheet color print of your brainstorming results. Remember to have us take a photo so we can print this page for you.)
- F-S Diagram (You probably want to use powerpoint for this. A lot easier to edit after you finish your initial diagram.)

Your Function-Structure Diagrams(Comments will be added later)
Functional requirements on the left side should have the form verb + object.
The node "puerly mechanical action" should be more to the left in the Function field.
Think what function each element structure provides, e.g., the screw "goes into the screw in a spiral action" on its way down, and "pulls up the screw" on its way up.
The "screw guide" allows the screw to rotate when it is apart from the screw base and locks it
when pushed together.
This F-S diagram is well written.
Open ⇒ Cut the can lid open
Safety ⇒ Provide safety when opening the can
Convenience ⇒ Make the design universal
"Handle" transfers force from hand to torque on roller.
"Long lever" also holds parts together and defines product appearance.
Functional requirements on the left side should have the form verb + object.
"Rotating part" turns the can with the "blade" pierced through the lid.
The opener has a hinge that restricts relative motion of the blade and handle.
Functional requirements on the left side should have the form verb + object, i.e.,
Safety ⇒ Provide Safety
Grip ⇒ Transfer torque from hand to screw.

Empathize: Kenji.
Teamology [click here for slides[PW needed]]
Some of your findings:
- Scary at first and have to move slowly.
- Drink dispenser was hard to use.
- Easy to tell objects, but hard to find them.
- Walking the stairs was hard.
- Easy to bump head on building structures.
- Hard to notice where the stairs start.
- Hard to work doors and tell whether you are in front of one.
- Yellow blocks with tactile studs were useful, but not much in finding directions.
- Traffic cones and temporary signs get in the way.
Some of your recommendations:
- Need audio aids.
- Voice guidance on the building.
⇒ Nice, but maybe button activated.
- Guide the blind with headsets, equipped with GPS, to give directions from their locations.
⇒ The most engineering oriented suggestion. Maybe this can lead to a real solution for the society, but it will be hard to justify for Eng. bldg.2. Should not be too hard given the current automobile GPS solution.
- Way of giving directions at top and bottom of stairs, maybe on handrails.
- Need more handrails, and change position of existing ones.
- Need more tactile studs, especially near end of stairs.
- Better have more slopes than stairs.
- Make roads wider so bikes can be parked so they do not get in the way.
- Automatic doors should open before we are standing right in front of them.
- Need braille maps.
- Make edges softer.
- Hang signs from ceilings.
⇒ but then we have to worry about more peopel bumping their heads.
