The timeliness of a pit stop is critical to a team's finishing performance, where every second plays a decisive role in achieving success on the track.
Cushioning item placed for the users comfort
Pain Points
Carbon Fiber elongated neck for better grip

These modifications are implemented to help aid the pain points in the existing product.

Foam Process
After the sketching phase foam models were made to make note of sizing and how the product looked in a physical sense.
Quick Mock-ups
Different handle grip studies done out of foam and then translated into Fusion 360 for further development.
Model Refinement
After coming to a finalized design, 3D printing became the next steps into refining and creating a final solution.
