Concept no.	Objectives	Scores Given	Justification
1	Folding	+	In this concept, the folding is not done properly as compared to other concepts
	Compact	-	As we can see in the figure its not as compact that we want as per the problem definition
	User Friendly	+	It is more user friendly as it can be operated with only one switch
	Time	-	It takes more time as it have to spiral folding
	Cost	-	Because of many gears and motors and all the framework,its cost is higher
