Shopping Cart

Time to go to Vons. This is the product that my group and I came up with. We used www.buildwithchrome.com making it easier to develop and build a prototype. Our goal was to create a "shopping cart of the future", making it easier on shoppers when going to the mall or the grocery store. The wheels are all battery powered, with a control interface on the handle of the cart, to turn and control the motors. The carts would be able to be plugged into the wall to charge up, and the batteries powering them would be cheap and compact, not weighing down the cart too much. We also incorporated the idea of having a screen somewhere on the cart, enabling shoppers to get a map of the store and the departments. It would also allow them to search up any items they were looking for. It's a pretty snazzy idea. Pros and Cons + Very easy to use because of powered wheels and navigation - Probably very expensive + Easily adaptable for any disabled customers - Target for theft due to expensive equipment + Recipes and Nutritional Values help keep user health conscious - Would raise the building's electrical bill, because of all the charging carts
