Project Overview:
Team Members:
- Matt Rocco
- Michael Morgan
- Andrew O'Sullivan(TA)
Motivation:
To innovate the field of personal electronics protection with a cheap and reliable alternative to expensive phone/tablet/laptop cases.
Objective:
To create a case / device that upon being dropped will deploy an airbag / parachute to help protect your valuable electronics.
Obstacles:
- Safety
- Premature detonation of our airbag system (Literally blowing your pants off)
- Cost
- Airbags are expensive and typically designed to only be used once
- Powering / Triggering
- We plan to run an Arduino off of it, which means we need some sort of external power supply. We also need power to help the device to trigger.
- Size
- Creating a case or device small enough to maintain the shape and convenience of your device without compromising safety.
