Problem Statement The Six have the opportunity to design and create shoes for less than $60 and sell them for $100 that consumer ages 8-21 will purchase to walk on water, mainly for recreational fun. The prototype will be constructed, tested, and then modified to create the best possible final product.
The Opportunity presented to The Six is to design and develop shoes that allow consumers to walk on water for recreational fun. - Walking Definition: Moving forward self propelled on the soles of your feet while upright on your own free will. - Client/Stakeholders: Customers (People age 8-21), Users, Purchasers, Manufacturers, Retailers, Angel Investors, Our Professor, Creators of the product - Audience: People aged 8-21 - Community of Interest: outdoorsy people, water enthusiasts, physically active, families and children - Safety Risks: drowning, getting stuck in/under shoes
Sustainability A sustainable product is socially acceptable, eco-friendly, economically favorable, and technologically appropriate.
The Six created surveys in order to determine our Customer Needs. Survey One ● Survey Two ●
Specifications were determined through customer needs and material evaluations. - Lightweight (under 4.53 kgs per shoe) : A - Easy set up (ten minutes to set up) : B - Durable (use at least an hour per time) : C - Easy to hold steady : D - Color : E - Portable (carry in arms or bag) : F - Safety : G - Cost (materials less than $80) : H
Table 2. Pairwise Comparison Table 1. Specifications
Each group member brainstormed ideas for the project to be evaluated. Fig. 3. Idea Two Fig. 2. Idea One Fig. 6. Idea Five Fig. 4. Idea Three Fig. 5. Idea Four
The ideas brainstormed were evaluated through concept screening and scoring. Table 3. Concept Screening Table 4. Concept Scoring
Calculations were done to analyze the best solution. Table 5. Calculations
Subsystems Walk On Water Shoe Propulsion Walking Cost Materials $9.99 Buoyancy Shoes Shape $9.98 $33.92 Duct Tape Styrofoam $4.27 Shoes Styrofoam Gorrilla Glue Gorrilla Glue Duct Tape
The cost analysis showed that the walk on water shoes would produce a profit. Materials Used: Retail Price of Product: Styrofoam--Polystyrene (5): ● Consumers willing to pay: $100 ● $33.92 Duct Tape (2): $9.98 ● Gorilla Glue (1): $4.27 ● Shoes (1 pair): $9.99 ● TOTAL BOM: $58.16 ● Total Profit = $100 - $58.16 = $41.84
Construction of the prototype took a couple hours with all hands on deck. Fig. 8. Design Drawing Fig. 7. Image of Prototype
The first test showed that the only adjustment we needed to make was adding more duct tape to the actual shoe. Fig. 9. Video of Testing Fig, 10. Image of Testing
The final testing resulted in a success for Team Six. Fig. 12. Video of getting on Fig. 11. Video of Final Test in the middle of the pool
A Gantt Chart was used to keep The Six on track throughout the design process. Table 6. Gantt Chart
