    • Springs w/ platform à mechanically limits dispensing of Cl depending on weight of container

    • Kimi: the scope of our parameters are pretty small
    • You can break down into multiple Pugh charts (for example, one for dispensing, one for variable dosing, etc)
    • BE QUANTITATIVE à calculating k constants of springs?
    • Accurate vs. precise
    • ACTION ITEM: before next meeting, everyone should look at concepts and GROUP them (by Pugh chart category)
    • Focus on container (bucket or bag), delivery, measurement (look at it or weigh it?)
    • Baseline: chlorine dispenser as it is right now
  • What to do with low cost vs. cool extra features dilemma?
