Today, our meeting was mainly a discussion on the meeting with Frankie 2 days ago.
First, we brought up the changes in design, then discussed about the originality of our project. Even though we mentioned about the problems of the project, there was nothing much that our mentor could help us with as all of us could not brainstorm for a new idea. At that point of time, there was simply no inspiration and we were feeling quite bad about the project prototype.
However, to cheer us up, our mentor decided to bring us to the biology lab where our plants were being cultivated instead. While taking care of the newly grown plants (which were also cultivated by aquaponics but not with our invention active yet), the group suddenly came up with an idea which seemed more original as well as seeming to look better than the "table" base design.
We thought of a C-shaped base, in which the tank could be placed below and the tray of plants could be placed above. This design was not only better in appeal, but also seemed easier to construct. Hence, we decided to change our design to this with our mentor's approval, and from now we will embark on researching and developing our newly established idea.
