Blog 9

Since we didn't have class today because of the power outage, we decided we would keep individually working on our wiki's. We are all supposed to be communicating and adding to our wiki's this week. We don't have a lot of class time left so my group really needs to make sure they are continously adding to our wiki.

I read on gooodhousekeeping.com a list of new innovative products in 2011. One of the products was called, Evolution Robotics Mint Floor Cleaner. It is a box shaped electronic that cleans dry and wet floors. It uses a reusable microfiber cloth to wipe up the floor. I've seen these floor cleaner robots, but typically they could only do carpet or hard floor, not both. It also used a vacuum style to clean up messes, where as this new product uses a much easier to work with cloth. It uses GPS technology to map out the room, so it knows where it has gone and still needs to go to clean. This innovative product costs a whopping $249!

My feelings about our groups progression is that I am a little worried. I know it will hopefully fall into place, but I am still a little hesitant. We still need to come up with a prototype or picture of our product, as well as add more to our wiki and just figure out the finishing touches. I know we will pull it together in the end, I would just like to see a little more effort in some group members.
