The Exibition Experience

An exhibition wasn’t exactly required for a product like mine. I kind of expected that the maximum views would go to the handicraft products & I was right. But the views & feedback I got was colourful in its own right. Not many figured out the function of the RoToCo without me explaining. Srishti students made enquiries about construction & areas they viewed as potential flaws. Kids were least bothered about function, they just gave it a spin & left. Faculty gave the best feedback, not so much our own but more so the Aditi faculty. A handful of visitors were fascinated by the concept & were really eager for med to test it & let them know of its effectiveness.

Being the only one managing the exhibit I missed interacting with a handful of visitors due to my absence forcing others to chip in & send out frantic calls to me . I felt like kicking myself on those occasions. Aargh.......

I assume I’ll get maximum information once the prototype is installed. Hopefully by the time you read this it will be so, so keep a eye on this space.

The Brochure


This is the brochure I plan to print & distribute to local eateries & PG's to promote my product & advertise for my stakeholder. It contains all you need to know about the RoToCo composter. Have a look.

1:1

I had prepared a couple of 1:1 drawings to help assist in assessing dimensions & construction of the product. The first full scale prototype being built by me now is based on the diagrams below. During construction I have realized that even though all the methods conceived are implementable, & I am proving this through execution, some might not be friendly to mass production, especially manually. Therefore, another drafts of such drawings is in the pipeline, meant for the stakeholder.
