		+	*Reason: Connor has been able to be present in nearly all the meetings. He has shown adequate enthusiasm and interest in taking part in the project. But most importantly, he is up-to-date with each individuals progress and can help group leader Fahad in maintaining a good co-ordination between each member.

−	To help with the in-depth analysis, we ~~came up with~~ a complexity scale.

The manufacturing complexity scale is based on how many process were needed to manufacture the part, and how difficult these processes were. The interaction complexity scale is based on how many interactions the part is involved with. Thus the following two tables will be referred to during the analysis:

 ===Problem Statement===
-Determine if the the force applied by the user is enough to reel in the fish by calculating the amount of mechanical energy being translated within the gear system.
+Engineering analysis would be used in the design process of the handle to determine the mechanical energy translated due to a predetermined expected applied force.  A force would be applied to the handle but will this force be enough to reel in fish?  By assuming no force or energy lost to friction.  We can determine energy translated from handle to drive gear, from drive gear to pinion gear and from pinion gear to the spool.

 ===Assumptions===
 *The force applied on the handle by the user remains constant throughout the process.
 *The loss of energy due to friction is negligible.

 *The manufacturing complexity of the plate would gain a value of 1 as only one method was used with a uniform, albeit, complex shape.

-We decided to focus on the particular function of the ‘Drag Control’ system within the reel; the model consists of parts 56, 61, 62, and 63. These are the drive shaft, drive gear, drag washer, and key washer respectively. While in use, the drag control system follows a certain drag setting which has been predetermined by the fisherman, and it dictates the amount of tension allowed in the line. For instance, if the fisherman catches a bass that weighs too much for him to reel in on his first try, the lubricated washers will ‘slip’ according the drag setting and allow for some of the line to be given to the bass as it attempts to escape. This is a crucial aspect to any bait-casting reel since it lets the fisherman engage in a ‘fight’ for his catch. Once an arbitrary amount of line is admitted back out to sea, the fisherman’s fight will continue until the fish tires out, making it easier for him to reel the bass in.
