2. Define a need:
A pad that covers your wrist for baseball, so you can
stay safe
We chose this need because in baseball when the
pitcher throws the ball it hits your wrist
4. Steps taken to design a
prototype:
First, we cut a old t-shirt that was silky like.
Then we stitched it together so your arm could fit in.
After that, we hot glued the patch over the cotton balls
for padding.
Next, we use straps and Velcro to tighten and loosen
the prototype.
6. First we cut out an old t-shirt of a width of an wrist. Next we got the
cotton balls to see how much space it would take up. Then we cut out
the patch that will go with the cotton balls. Mikayla is taking it home
to sew. Then we hot glue our cotton balls and our padding. Then we
put Velcro on the glove to make sure that the padding stuck.
7. 1st Test of prototype
We need to add string or something that will tighten
or loosen the prototype. We need to add Velcro. The
padding worked well. The Velcro worked well with
attaching to the glove. The padding did not stick to the
glove without Velcro.
8. Modifications:
We needed the Velcro so we added it to the glove. The
Velcro kept it in place. We are probably going to add
straps or change color for softball. The straps are going
to be made of rubber.
9. Conclusion:
First we added our Velcro to the padding. Then we
added the Velcro to the glove so that the padding and
the glove would stick together with eachother.
