This is the container for the electronics and inflatable bridge (miniature/scaled down) that I've been building out of cardboard. One side is open in order for the inflatable material to extend outwards.

This is my storyboard which shows one way that my project can be used in the real world. The possibilities are endless!
I have added the new openings to the box construction and have constructed the mechanisms that I am going to use in the box with the vacuum pump I recieved.
Great job!
To do next:
- Prototype different design ideas in order to choose one. For example, will you use vacuum jamming to stiffen your bridge?
- Make final prototypes to finalize designs for each individual component.
- Try planning out the time you have left before the deadline. What are the major tasks that you need to do? What are the sub-tasks that need to be done? Estimate how much time each of these tasks will take.
Summary:
Add as much detail as you can to your design outline. For example: What materials will you use? Which mechanisms will allow you to achieve the behavior you want.
If your prototypes work, great! It doesn't have to be perfect, this is version 1, we will optimize it later!
Time is limited - Ask questions whenever you are stuck.
