Automoblox Improvement
Project introduction
Jacob and I tried to figure out what enhancements we could had to the toy car to make it more appealing to little kids (in the range of 6-8 year old kids).
The enhancement that Jacob and I ended up doing was adding wings and a plane tail to make a flying car.

Adult 1 said she thinks that these enhancements will really appeal to little kids. Also she said some other enhancements that we could have down was a propeller and make the wheels red instead of green because red stands out more and is more noticeable.
Adult 2 said he also thinks that kids would enjoy this toy and would be happy with it. Also he said some other enhancements that we could have done was make that back wing/tail bigger and put a bumper in the front.

Present solution
Through out the automoblox improvement project Jacob and I had so ups and downs but we finished the project on time and we are happy with are enhancement. Since we weren't in class and working on it for most of the time, it made it difficult to work on it on the break. Before we went on break we split up the project so that not one of us was doing the whole project over the weekend. Are final product enhancements were to put wings on the car like a plane and also put a plane tail/ back wing. Are final product is exactly how we pictured it and we believe that are product would really appeal to younger kids. Some factors that must be considered when changing or enhancing a design is what will it look like? How long will it take to make? Will this enhancement help sell the product? It is important to document a brainstorming list so that you will remember all your ideas in case you don't like the first idea you picked because then you can go back and pick a different one. The purpose of sketching your ideas is so your partner(s) can get an idea of what it should look like, how big the enhancement should be, where it should be put or positioned on the object, and etc.
