Design Flaws

Today for our 20% project idea we worked with SKETCHES again!!!

We had to rethink how we clamp the smart desk to the real desk. We have to think of the sliding system, but we do have 

the swivel system down. The swivel system uses is own support bars for the swivel, thus it is one less part that has to 

added, it can angel the way the monitor faces and this makes the design even easier. We also played with the desk

clamp design. We have to fool around with the system, but we can make it easier to use and thus makes the project for 

people to use. We now have to make our color choices also now, this will be very simple and we will have to make them 

a basic color that will not be too bright for people to look at we also worked on the name the FLoW Desk.

   Today for our Smart Desk we sketched some layouts for the desk and some track systems. What we

did is sketched out some of the mechanicals that hold the laptop up and keep it stable. We have had to

also think of the clips that hold the laptop firm to the base plate. The laptop will move down the desk

and the laptop will swivel so it can be moved and easily be seen from the left and right ends of the desk.

We brainstormed many different ways of the track can run down the desk and how it clips to the desk.

The sketches are ruff, but they will be are baseline and are subject to design changes Next week we 

will make a little model of our track system, this will also be ruff, but this will just be our model of it 

and also will be subject to change.
