When Julie and I tested our bottle opener around 4-5 times, it worked but took a considerable amount of effort. If given more time, we would have improved our design by using 1 wider tooth (versus 3 smaller teeth) because the two teeth on the sides were not useful in the bottle opening process.
Also, we noted how our actual model was bigger than the model made of foam board. This meant that we had made a mistake on using the right dimensions on Solidworks. We had originally designed our bottle opener to be portable, but our actual model was too big to fit into a pocket.
Lastly, for my next project, I would like to be more "creative." I was satisfied with the bottle opener's performance, but the design was not very original.
Overall, I had a lot of fun and learned a lot about the engineering process and how much thought and patience were necessary to design and to create something.
