Define a problem
Group Norms: Andrew and I had each other's phone numbers prier to the project, and live close enough to each other that we could walk to each other's house for documents and help with issues. Also we had each others skype and emails in case anything went wrong.

Logo usage
If we were to use a logo on the toy we wouldn't be allowed to change the color,orientation, or slant height of the logo. If we were to do so the company would have the right to sue use for copy right.
Safety regulations
Small parts new a chocking hazard and third party testing is required if we are going to certify this toy. Also if the toy is for kids 12 and under it must also be tested for safety hazards.

Construct and test prototype
I asked my dad and my 5 year old brother what they thought about the toy. My dad said if he got this as a kid he would like it but more than likely his mom would throw it away. My brother said he wish he had that toy right now to play with it and he would love to have it as a birthday gift even though his birthday is in February.
Evaluate solution
I liked the idea of the toy but i didn't like the theme. It would of been cooler for a transformer or some thing you can change up so that all the other ones don't look the same. That's what i tried to do with ours so that's its different and it stands out from the others. If i could change one thing it would be nothing i think he is perfect the way it is and it looks great.(creepy). Overall Andrew and i were great partners i did the inventor and he did the charts, it worked out great. We got every thing done very fast and well, im sad to say i didn't learn any new skills on this project but there is always next year.
