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
