Group 15 - Craftsman Weed Whacker

Introduction

Before starting on a major project it is important to understand what you are getting yourself into; this particularly important in a group setting. It is very important to know the strengths and weaknesses of each individual so that it is possible to maximize the group’s effectiveness. In this gate of the project we will go over the approach we will take in disassembling and reassembling our product, we will go over what tools we will need to do this, and address our strengths and weaknesses as individuals and a group as a whole.
