Score - 6.5 Krishna understood the assignment well and the requirements for the mechanism - The design uses few parts and is pretty simple in design (which is good! The fewer parts there are, the less that can break!) - The red part is easily manufacturable - The gray part looks a little difficult to manufacture using traditional methods such as subtractive manufacturing due to the ramp - It looks like the flexible ball slider is a custom piece - If so, that would be pretty difficult to manufacture, and would likely require a casting process in metal to ensure the needed ductility - Currently, the central screw holding the two parts together has no clear way to set a distance from one another - This could cause no connection between the ramp and the ball, or too much flexion in the ball causing undue stresses - His explanation and presentation however were very easy to understand and follow - Overall, a great job by Krishna on this design, albeit some of the design decisions were fuzzy" -Good start with this design. The flexible tab would likely need to be patterned to have some strength in locking the mechanism in place. The base piece would need post-machining after molding.
