After our chat with Joe and Dave last Wednesday, October 10th, the team made some changes to the mechanism and aesthetics of our yo-yo.
- Bitcoin logo side
- We decided to add a ring to this side of the yo-yo and have it connect to the Bitcoin logo. Thus, this piece will snap-on to the black dome. Below, to the left, is a picture of the first design, and to the right is a picture of the current design
- Stock Market side
- The stock market line will be extended to attach to the outer ring and the entire part will be a snap-on. Thus, we have deterred from the original idea of making the line a channel in which a liquid with gold glitter (like that in snow globes) will be inserted and will be able to move around freely within the channel.
- Shaft for string gap
- As for the shaft originally designed, we will change to those manufactured in class because this knot and bolt design could cause some problems with the string while the yo-yo is spinning. Firstly, the string could get touched, and secondly, there might be too much friction and the yo-yo.
- will not be able to coil back up. Below is the old design and right below that one is the design of the 008 shaft, the one we'll be using.
Those are all the updates at the moment, but after the Yo-yo design review we will be updating on any changes to this current design.
