Notebook Week 4
We asked ourselves important questions regarding our toy concepts
Questions Regarding Toy Design
RC Soccer
How should the actual field be; such as will it be a hard surface or will it be a felt-like material that we can roll out?
What kind of mechanism can we design so that the RC cars can pass and shoot the ball?
What will the ball look like; will it simply be a rubber or foam ball or can we modify it to roll in a way we like to that fits the feel of the game we want?
Pin-It Pinball
What will the pin-it board look like to fit the obstacles we are pinning in?
What are the various parts or features we can pin to the board?
How should the active components of the board function; will there be spring-like mechanisms that throw the ball around?

Castle Wars
Besides knocking down the opponent’s castle, are there any other objectives that one can add or a defining feature that definitely says the other person lost?
How should the pieces that make up the castle look like; will they be similar to wooden blocks or can they interconnected like legos or are there certain pre-made castle features already?
How about the catapult’s themselves? Will the player be able to modify them?
