Robotics I Test 2 REVIEW

In this creative part of the design process, you conjure up as many ideas for solutions as you can document them, thus creating a pool of ideas that can be analyzed and tested.

• analyzing
• brainstorming
• evaluating
• creating

In this stage, all the ideas generated by brainstorming are reviewed.  The pros and cons of every idea are weighed against one another and the one that best meets the defined need is selected.

• evaluation
• presentation
• analysis
• optimization

At the _____________ stage, you build a working model; based on careful calculations and detailed drawings.

• prototype
• optimization

During this stage the prototype design must be tested to verify that it works and meets all specifications

• Brainstorming
• Presentation
• Testing and Optimization
• Analysis

The final stage of the design process; for example - delivering your design to the product department of your company OR demonstration of a patent application OR  entering the design into a competition.

• Presentation
