What is a prototype?
A prototype is a preliminary model of something. Projects that offer physical products need to show backers documentation of a working prototype. This gallery features photos, videos, and other visual documentation that will give backers a sense of what’s been accomplished so far and what’s left to do. Though the development process can vary for each project, these are the stages we typically see:
Proof of Concept
Explorations that test ideas and functionality.
Functional Prototype
Demonstrates the functionality of the final product, but looks different.
Appearance Prototype
Looks like the final product, but is not functional.
Design Prototype
Appearance and function match the final product, but is made with different manufacturing methods.
Production Prototype
Appearance, function, and manufacturing methods match the final product.
About this project
**UPDATE**
Better protection for the kids who just want to play football. . .
It's our job as Parents and Coaches to keep youth athletes as safe as possible. Football is a rough sport, even at an early age.
In my opinion, the most important piece of football equipment is the helmet.
The reason is because it protects the brain !! Any improvement in safety of the helmet is a WIN.
FlexClipz is going to WIN by making our design the new standard.
Engineered with Strength and Forgiveness.
After going through multiple designs with our Plastics Engineer, our latest version is working out to be the best yet. We are ready to move to the next stage and start lab and field testing. The goal is to develop the best energy absorbing Flex-Clip before going into productions.
