Ein Prototyp ist sozusagen ein vorläufiges Modell dessen, was bei einem Projekt entstehen soll, wenn es sich dabei um ein Produkt handelt. In diesem Fall müssen den Unterstützern Unterlagen zu einem funktionierenden Prototypen präsentiert werden. In dieser Galerie kann der Projektgründer Fotos oder Videos hochladen, damit sich die Unterstützer eine Vorstellung davon machen können, in welchem Stadium sich das Projekt befindet; was bereits erreicht wurde und was noch aussteht. Der Entwicklungsprozess ist zwar bei jedem Projekt unterschiedlich, aber für gewöhnlich gibt es dabei die folgenden Phasen:
Konzept-Nachweis
Untersuchungen, die Ideen und Funktionalität unterlegen.
Funktionsprototyp
Weist Funktionalität des Endprodukts auf, sieht aber etwas anders aus.
Geometrischer Prototyp
Sieht aus wie das Endprodukt, hat aber keine funktionalen Eigenschaften.
Designprototyp
Sieht aus wie das Endprodukt und hat dieselben funktionalen Eigenschaften, wurde aber aus anderen Materialien oder in einer anderen Art und Weise hergestellt.
Technischer Prototyp
Gleicht dem Endprodukt in Aussehen, Funktion und Herstellungsweise.

With its built in Pre-amp, Bluetooth, Speakers and Rechargeable Battery, RokBlok has everything needed to start listening to any record. Just place and play.
RokBlok was designed for current vinyl lovers, and those new to records alike. If you love vinyl, have ever been remotely interested in buying a record or two, or would just like the ability to listen to records outside of your living room, RokBlok is for you.
With working prototypes and production specs in hand, we are ready to begin mass production. However in order to reach this milestone we’ll need your help.
SheetRok is a record player that is made out of a sheet of paper, uses no electricity….and yes, it actually works! This “manual” record player works by spinning the record yourself. We are offering SheetRok as a fun reward. In addition, we will also include a random record from our personal collection with each SheetRok player. Will you get a Beatles album? Maybe Run DMC? Get your SheetRok and find out!

In the spirit of Kickstarter’s make/100 program, we will be offing a very limited, two-toned edition of RokBlok.
The “100 Edition” will come uniquely numbered and features a Black and Bamboo case. Only 100 will be made.
RokBlok has been the subject of thousands of articles published all over the world! Here are a few of our favorite quotes:
Because vinyl records are awesome and the world needs new ways to enjoy them.

Risiken und Herausforderungen
With our partnership with an amazing manufacturer, that has built products for many successful Kickstarter campaigns, we’re confident in our ability to deliver the most unique vinyl player on the planet, on time. However, there is always the chance of delay. Even though we’ve been tirelessly working on the idea generation, design and prototype for RokBlok, there is always a chance of extensions in manufacturing and shipping dates. We vow to keep backers updated every step of the way.
