During our meeting today we decided on what two products to combine. As a group we decided to consider combining a snowmobile with a blow up air bag system similar to what is used in a vehicle. The reason for this innovation is to save lifes when people are crossing ice that is open or has cracks in it when snowmobiling. The air bag unit would deploy once the snowmobile would hit a specific point when sinking into the water. This would allow the snowmobile not to sink and not put the driver and/or passenger at risk of drowning or freezing because of being emerged into the water.
We started our brainstorming session today and came up with a mind map of some of our ideas. Below is a picture of our mind map that our group came up with to start us going on this innovation process.
After our brainstorming session we took some of the main points from our mind map and were trying to measure the gaps to determine what our challenges were going to be. As a group we realized that the location of the device was going to be a challenge. We also felt that our activation of the device would be another one of our challenges. As a group we decided that our research needs to begin at this point. We need to start looking at what type of device is going to work for us. We need to look at the snowmobile itself to determine locations for the inflatable device to be located. We need to determine our activation method for the device to deploy.
