Fifth Meeting

The group completed the Pro/ENGINEER model of the intended pillow. The group also developed a design for an elevating system that is composed of PVC piping. This system would consist of a bottom frame and a top frame as well as an intermediate piece that is attached to the top frame and hooks into the bottom frame, changing the height of the pillow. The group intends to have materials to build this system within two weeks. Materials would include PVC elbows, T's, and piping, and screws (to create a pivot point for the intermediate piece and top frame).
