14. Cesar's Challenges
Main challenge was getting the
technology right for the obstacle
Course the dogs ran through
while designing their sweater
Part of the course was to see what path the dogs were taking through
the ball pit to determine the sweaters pattern
To keep up with them and find out which exact balls they went
through, Cesar’s technology crew came up with the idea that the balls
would light up when activated, allowing to easily see the path.
Caesar also had to make sure they were partnering with the right
person to help them spread the word,
