In the final design we stayed fairly faithful to the sketch and original idea , but changed a few things to increase the fun factor. We changed the base of the platform by adding two wedges to prop the base at an angle. This makes all the cups more visible and also presents a greater challenge for any players. We also made the middle cup in the second row have a flat bottom which makes it more difficult.
Present solution
Together me and my teammate worked diligently together to complete Board Pong. We started by brainstorming ideas separately then coming together to figure out which idea is best. We both chose our best idea and presented them to each other. We then created a decision matrix to decide on which idea to choose. We both decided that Board Pong was the best idea because it was the easiest to build, and also the most fun and practical. After finishing the sketch, we started constructing and testing the prototype. We stuck to the original design for the most part and only changed the way the base was constructed and one of the nine cups. We added two triangle wedges to the base to make it stand at an angle which makes it look more like a traditional arcade game.
