The team presented a working prototype of a fruit-inspired remote control, with a titanium concept and strawberry-themed features. Its proposed functions included volume and channel controls, an LCD operated by a jog wheel, speech recognition and a voice-activated location finder. They also discussed configurable colours and soft fruit-shaped pieces that could make the remote attractive and protect it around children.

Marketing led an evaluation using a one-to-seven scale, where one meant a criterion was fulfilled. The team considered fanciness, technology, robustness, usefulness, size and weight, colour and shape, and adaptability. They gave the prototype an overall average of about 2.17, though they questioned some aspects of the design and how easily users could select channels.

The initial cost estimate of about $17.80 exceeded the $12.50 target, so the team discussed reducing component costs and using a hand dynamo for power. They eventually said the target had been reached, although the transcript does not clearly establish the final component choices. In their project review, they highlighted strong teamwork, creativity, useful whiteboards and timely meetings, and discussed celebrating the project’s completion.
