Busy

The days pass and we start to converge our conclusions so far to be able to start making concepts. Under such extreme conditions, many compromises have to be made, but it is important to define the priorities right. In the end we want to develop a relevant product which will not fail due to unforeseen complications. Affordability has to be balanced against functionality and independence from central charging systems. The discussions are tough. Luckily, that shows that the ambition is still as high as in the beginning.



Talking about unforeseen complications:
Electricity and internet failures that make parts of the research more difficult (looking for suppliers, specifications, prices etc.) and the freetime less fun are not the only troubles any more. The first monsoon rains (too early!), attacks of ants and interesting flying bugs and short-running water kept us busy last week.




On the other hand we got a new translator for a next round of interviews, mainly with market people and battery chargers to be able to judge scenarios in which the batteries of our product are charged by third parties. Finally someone WE can keep busy...

The bed is mine and was standing too close too the window (monsoon!), the table was also killed by the rain and the black spots are the flying bugs...
