2.7 Justification for the Scores Given
Table 3: Justification for the scores given in the pugh chart with respect to the objectives and concepts
| SL.No | Concept number | Objective | Score Allocated | Justification for the score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Concept 1 | Bot should be semi-automatic | Datum | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Pattern drawn should be permanent | Datum | --------------------------------------------------------------- | ||
| Bot should be portable | Datum | --------------------------------------------------------------- | ||
| Bot should be able to draw all standard shapes | Datum | --------------------------------------------------------------- | ||
| Bot should draw designs on a sheet of paper | Datum | --------------------------------------------------------------- | ||
| Bot should be user-friendly | Datum | --------------------------------------------------------------- | ||
| 2. | Concept 2 | Bot should be semi-automatic | +9 | Bot is semi automatic and it receives orders through voice messages |
| Pattern drawn should be permanent | 0 | By using the mechanical arm the pen is well gripped and is permanent | ||
| Bot should be portable | -7 | there is no proper means for portability | ||
| Bot should be able to draw all standard shapes | -8 | Due to less mobility bot may be able to draw only few shapes. | ||
| Bot should draw designs on a sheet of paper | +2 | A sheet of paper can be placed and the bot can perform the required operations | ||
| Bot should be user-friendly | +6 | Bot has a simple structure and is easy to use | ||
| 3. | Concept 3 | Bot should be semi-automatic | +18 | There is a wireless control by means of ir remote and also programming, hence the bot is semi-automatic |
| Pattern drawn should be permanent | 0 | By means of permanent markers that can easily be held by the clamp | ||
| Bot should be portable | 0 | The bot is portable | ||
| Bot should be able to draw all standard shapes | +8 | Because of programming we can give input and hence the bot can draw various standard shapes | ||
| Bot should draw designs on a sheet of paper | +2 | A sheet of paper is placed below the marker and hence pattern can be drawn | ||
| Bot should be user-friendly | +6 | As the bot is not that complex, it is user-friendly | ||
| 4. | Concept 4 | Bot should be semi-automatic | +18 | By wireless control and by means of a program and software, the bot has manual as well as automate control while drawing patterns |
| Pattern drawn should be permanent | 0 | By means of permanent markers that can easily be held by the edge clamp and has flexible motion | ||
| Bot should be portable | -14 | An issue of portability due to complex circuit may prove to be a problem while transporting or carrying | ||
| Bot should be able to draw all standard shapes | +8 | By means of the code and software, we can install the standard shapes and the mechanism will be able to comply to the command and draw the pattern | ||
| Bot should draw designs on a sheet of paper | +2 | A sheet of paper can be placed and the bot can perform the required operations on the medium comfortably | ||
| Bot should be user-friendly | -6 | The complex design and implementation may prove to be an issue for the user and may not be used for its defined purpose |
