-After comparing these sets of methods of construction of the drawing robot and the way in which it receives a command, a final decision could be made on what direction the project would be heading in. +After comparing these sets of methods of construction of some drawing robot and the way in which it receives a command, a final decision could be made on what direction the project would be heading in.
  
-The robot structure that the team decided on using was the wheels method in which the device can move around on a plane on wheels with a pen attached to the front of the device. The team decided this was the best solution for the task as the device can draw over a large area on a plane. The base of the robot would be easy to build and relatively cheap to buy the parts for with the correct components. The programming of the robot would be easier than that of the other options and with the wheels, the device can move freely around the paper. The materials for the whole robot would be within our budget as well which may not have been the case for other options.+The robot structure that the team decided on using was the wheels method in which the device can move around on a plane on wheels with a pen attached to the front of the device. We decided this was the best solution for the task as the device can draw over a large area on a plane.

-It was also decided that sound would be the best option for the input to command the robot. This is the best option as it can be used by people of all ages and fun can be had when using the system to create drawings. Also, if the user is able to create their own commands for the robot then this can add to the feeling that they have created something special.+It was also decided that sound would be the best option for the input to command the robot.

 The next chapter to be discussed is that of project management and how the project manager must handle all aspects of the project from defining the project scope to the planning of each part of the project. The next chapter to be discussed is that of project management and how the project manager must handle all aspects of the project from defining the project scope to the planning of each part of the project.

 In Project management defining the project scope is the most important part. If it is not clear what has to be delivered to the customers in the end and what the boundaries are, the chance of failure will be high. In most of the instances, there actually is no chance to success with this unorganized approach. In Project management defining the project scope is the most important part.

-The decided target group and potential market are children. Within children the design is more specifically for girls. The idea behind this is to pick up on the trend to make technology more attractive for females. It is important to have more incentives for girls to get interested in technology such as robotics. The drawing robot will be sold as a toy for kids to get creative. In the following chapters you can read more about the research we have done regarding this aspect. +The decided target group and potential market are children.
