◤ Customer Product Selection Requirements Our target customers are As a group we thought this ▪ ▪ anybody between the age of game would make the most 7-15. sense with the given time frame and materials. We chose this age range ▪ because you should be able We chose to make “Skee- ▪ to grasp the concept of the Bounce” because it was game by age 7 and by age 15 simple, yet difficult at the you will have played it so same time. much that you will get tired of it.

◤ Conceptual Design • Our original design consisted of a slingshot with a rubber band, a 5- holed box, and a little ramp to bring the balls back to you. • We were originally going to make 5 holes for the targets and use cardboard for the actual box. • The base and ramp were going to be made out of wood. • The slinger was either going to be bought or 3D printed. If it was 3D printed, we would get the rubber bands from the workshop. • 1 group member bought 2 packs of 6 ping-pong balls.

◤ Actual Design • For the sake of our game actually being fun (and multiple trial-and-errors), we decided to throw out the slingshot idea. • Instead of 5 holes, we cut 8 holes of different sizes which would count as various amounts of points. • The box ended up being made out of wood instead of cardboard for aesthetics. We also added a net to keep the balls in play • Everything else was relatively the same as the conceptual design.

◤ Customer Feedback and Results Dravin (Ahmad’s Roommate): “This game is actually very ▪ addicting. I could play this all day” Jack (Robert’s Roommate): “This game is actually better ▪ than I thought it’d be. I wish there was a time limit added so you could sort of rapid fire it but the way y’all have the game setup makes it harder.” Will (Boone’s Roommate): “It is a really cool idea! I love ▪ arcade games are my favorite. I think it’s a good idea to incorporate them into a game, especially skee-ball” Karsten (Kiernan’s Roommate): “I’ve played the classic skee ▪ ball but this game has an interesting twist. I think it is harder than skee ball which gives it more depth and playability.”

◤ Summary/Conclusions • We think our project in all was a success, despite the fact that we had to alter our original design by taking out the slingshot all together. • Our toy ended up being pretty fun and we are in college, which wasn’t even the target age.
