Sketching the YY Design

Today our team met to figure out the design of our yoyo.

The first design decision we had to make was how we wanted to model the rings. We discussed a two different options: 1 ring with a grove in the body, 2 concentric rings and 2 thermoformed rings

Design with 1 ring embedded in body

Design for 2 injection molded concentric circles

Design for 2 Thermoformed rings

We realized we wouldn't have the colors we wanted for the thermoformed rings, so that option was eliminated. Also we were concerned about inserting the Bugs Bunny cut out inside the body for the 1 ring design, so we eventually decided on using 2 injection molded circles.

We then sketched out the design for the yoyo.

At the end of the session today, we split up the parts between everyone on the team:

• Body: Nathan & David
• Basketball Thermoform & White Thermoform Insert: Steve
• Bugs Bunny Insert: Kirsten & Joey
• Rings: Sarah & Rohun

The team plans on meeting on Saturday to compile all the pieces together.
