What gets built

Make it easier to put remote controls away and keep them upright.

What it practises
  • Measuring an object, choosing clearance, making a rigid panel and checking stability.

Success criteria
  • Both compartments fit the measured remote controls with finger clearance for gripping the upper part.
  • The base is flat, and the backrest and ribs have continuous cool welds without loose ends.
  • One-handed testing with both remote controls and with a single remote control does not lift the base edge.
