Our project was built to fetch things on the ground so you don’t have to crouch down. The idea was that you would send it out and it would grab things and move them to other places like a rubbish bin.
We did multiple design sketches and iterations. The scooper was not too heavy and we didn’t have the strength to pick things up, so we tried to pinch things and lift for grip and add weight the side so it doesn’t tip but the idea we settled on was to make the scoop lighter and keep the weight on the back side.
