Back to Parent

Outcome:

We were able to create just the product we hoped for. The Sorry Box is able to give each member of the argument have their space, but be able to say they're sorry over a distance when they are ready. By placing the penguin within the igloo it triggers the other person's igloo to open and have them retrieve a present. The retriever of the present can then reciprocate and accept the apology by placing their penguin in the igloo which will replicate the same retrieval of a gift. 

We decided to make the "Sorry Box" and igloo that is activated by a penguin toy. This decision was made based off of two things. The igloo represents "breaking the ice", and the penguins were chosen due to their own habits. Penguins mate for life and the male penguin will give the woman penguin a stone when he has chosen her, much like an engagement ring. This represents a couple who could use the "Sorry Box".  Penguins are also amazing parents, and the male penguin watches the egg over the winter while the woman penguin goes out to see to collect enough fish to feed the baby once it is born. This represents a parent to child relationship. Overall, the "Sorry Box" can be used for any sort of relationship. 

We had issues designing the igloo to incorporate the sensors, but overall were able to accomplish a simple igloo design that houses all the equipment.  Testing our code to have the sensors be just sensitive enough was a huge part of the process. In the end, we all love the final product and would own them ourselves. Being able to say you're sorry is an important part of any relationship, but also having your space is vital too. The Sorry Box gives you both!
