Reflection

Overall the process of creating and designing the interior and exterior boxes were a lot of fun. Granted, based on the dimensions we used we had to buy three 2x4 sized acrylic pieces. The main issue we ran into was lining up the hook with the umbrella to lock it in. Since the umbrella was a lot thicker than we intended, it would often knock the hook off of the servo motor, thus ruining the intended lock mechanism.  

One thing that we could not accomplish in the class is to have the umbrella charge when it is in the box.  If we were to actually create the product, we would have to find a way to have the top of the umbrella plug into the box for charging.
