Today our project changed in the way of creating and prosecuting new ideas. We came up with another idea in which there would be straps around the upper and lower arm with something robotic connecting that would allow Tanis to move his arm up more once he applied a little bit of pressure. We also created something similar to the wearable wings with the four different sides that move in opposite direction once pulled. We are still not entirely sure which direction we will go in, however, if we choose the prototype we created on Friday then we would like to expand so that Tanis can raise his hand up all the way instead of just a little. I'm excited about creating new ideas and solving this issue. I'm also excited about getting to use my hands and create an object that someone could really enjoy and find helpful. On Wednesday Jackson and I  would like to get an opinion from Tanis to make sure he enjoys what we are creating for him. We would also like to ask and understand about his disorder so we know what he can and cannot do. Finally, we will also be taking measurements to make sure our product fits him properly and comfortable.
