| + | This challenging project was undertaken by the members of team three to successfully build a didactic robotic fish. This particular fish was targeted as an educational learning toy for children between the ages of five and ten years old. The prototype would be constructed to perform basic commands and be simple to control to ensure that the product did not become too complicated for the young people to understand properly. The team had to conduct detailed analysis of existing products, combined with their own unique ideas to create the perfect model. Team three had to implement many different working techniques throughout the creation of the robot such as project management, sustainability and marketing. Project management enabled the team to allocate members with specific task and to ensure there were tasks set out each week to stay up to date with the deadlines provided. Sustainability was important to the project as it is important for the product to be able to not only create a good product but to also be able to become a profitable company. Marketing was another major subject covered as this product had to target young children. It was pivotal to the project that this product would appeal to young children between the ages of five and ten years old and this was successfully implemented. Finally ethical concerns were addressed to ensure a safe and fair working environment and a product on the market that is of reasonable value. After a purchase of the robotic fish, bubbles the user will be provided with a manual detailing how to set up and then operate the toy. This can ensure the user can thoroughly enjoy playing and learning with bubbles but also to prevent them from any danger, as the safety of the user is of paramount importance. | ||
