Abstract/Summary
In this report, the design process in creating an assistive device for Boccia Classification 3 (BC3) players is outlined. The initial research steps, including research into the rules of the game, capabilities of the players, and existing products is documented to show where ideas for the product stemmed from. This transitions into requirements that the sponsor requested, and preliminary designs and ideas for the product. Finally, this report explains the details of the final design, which has been analyzed for safety, ease of use, and ability to function under different conditions. The processes of manufacturing and testing will also be discussed. The overall goal of this report is to condense the findings from the research, design process, and manufacturing process in order to advance the playing capability of BC3 athletes, and to continue making progress in this field of assistive technology.
