prototype 2.0.jpg

In this picture, we can see the second idea one of our members had, which consist in streching an elastic band in order to muscle up. It is a prototype that probably won't be pursued but it was fun.

Weights on arm.jpg

Yousra tried this prototype and was happy.
We discussed a bit about how to put the weights on, and we realised that our idea of pockets for the weights was maybe not the best.
Indeed, it would have been too hard for her to close the pockets so we thought that instead we would just create pocket for the bearing balls, but not sewed to the sleeve.
Like that, we'll put some velcro to enable her to put on or off the weights, and to do so we need another ring.

All elements (weights = prototype).jpg

Today, we created a prototype for the weights, with small clay balls, to try to see what it would look like.

Here's a different view.
There's a reinforcement to avoid having weight directly on the apparent veins.

Arm from top.jpg

Today, Yousra tried the sleeve and was very happy.
Now we have to put the pockets with the weights on the sleeve.
Plus, we saw that maybe the sleeve was a little too large so we'll think about a system to remedy that.

Final sleeve.jpg

In the meantime, we sewed the strap and rings to the volleyball sleeve, and added some velcro to hold everything when it's put on. The result is esthetic so we're very proud.

This is another view of the fabric prototype, where we can understand how to put it on.
The person we made this for was very enthusiastic about it and liked it.

fabric prototype.jpg

This is our second prototype of the third week. It's this time more realistic and closer to our final idea and vision. We can see both parts, the white one that represents the volleyball sleeve, and the blue one the strap she will put around her hand.

These are more precise sketches we made the second week, with more details, elements, reflexions about which materials we could use, and the different problems we must take into account.

cardboard prototype.jpg

This is the first realisation of our idea, made in cardboard the first week. It was to have an overview of what we would like to do. The white parts represent the weights.
