Excellent presentation. Great team work.
Great job! Think about long term maintenance when designing.Better understanding of history, big picture tie in and clearer design goals needed. Excellent project and presentation.
-As a female engineer, I think it’s awesome to see the three of you leading the presentation.   -Add a clear description of the competition requirements, as well as your goals for the quarter. They were addressed in the questions portion, but it would be better if it was part of your presentation.

Very useful application. Simple for user. Suggest checking other materials for lighter weight.

Is there a steady state cost target moving forward? Any long term maintenance concerns? Background on how many patients with “one sided” strength would be interesting. What is distance of travel per “typical motion”?
Tube bender used low tech manufacturing. Well done! Great job!
It wasn’t clear what the apparatus did for the large portion of the presentation. One criterion was ignored: no tools. It also wasn’t clear that one brake clamped on both wheels.
One of the goals was to not use tools, but it seems like with the current design you need a tool to install your device. That may be something to improve next quarter. On presentation, I would just recommend more professional dress, it add to your credibility. Next time, avoid jeans, go with the slacks.

What will the satellite be measuring? Do you know yet?

Exciting project!
– I like the transistor burning idea, nice!   – Maybe specify more on why you want to send a CubeSat, what date do you want to capture and why?  – Overall, excellent job

Interesting use of off-the-shelf solutions questions on the other side to consider.
– A bit informal in some sections  – Using quantitative terms can limit subjective language like “good” or “nicely”  – Team structure was hard to see (maybe text larger)  – Thermal efficiency was a bit questionable. Need more information on co generation tech
– Next time you test with a person on board, maybe consider wearing a life jacket, just in case.

66th in sales presentation – Did you leverage any business or marketing majors? Highlight “benefits” as raider vs. bandit slides. Are you documenting all options explored before you decided any key changes?Excellent. Cost presented, not budget.
-Excellent work, just use the word “guys” less  -It really seems like you are making well thought out improvements on last years car
Great work. Work on Team’s presentation skills.

Very innovative idea. Great concept, good for environment.

Is there a cost “target” for the system vs. the value it delivers? What are people currently doing with 3D waste today? Is this design meant for “small scale” or “large scale” use? Or both?
Need work/stude of plastic processing.
Use more industry standard material handling techniques. Many of the issues you are trying to overcome are likely well-documented i.e. offgassing from melting plastics, material handling techniques, etc. This project seems to have lost its way.
– Some details missing. RE: What works is being done on reexceled/ non-3D print waste?   – Seems like talking to industry about material handling best practices might help.

Would help to clarify what “extended flight time” really means.

Some of the statements could be clearer.
That was a very good presentation, we can tell that you really knew your stuff! Once you get it flying, adding a video to the presentation would be awesome!
