  2. We must make the trolley's wheels more maneuverable!

  3. I want to make the metal area on the handle for the $1 coin harder.

  4. I want the trolley to have a stopper that will allow the trolley to have an emergency stop. (Sometimes children get to push the trolley and they start running around the shopping mall with it. If a pregnant lady suddenly appears, they'll be able to stop immediately and avoid the accident.)

  5. I want to set a stopper at the bottom of the trolley. ( so that heavy stuff like watermelons that we usually put at the bottom will not roll off)

  6. I want to make it more accessible to the elderly/disabled.

  7. Trolleys are too big and bulky to move through payment areas, which are near cashiers

    ReplyDelete
  8. Make the trolley easier to turn (When we buy many things the trolley becomes heavy and thus, it is very hard to change to a different lane)

    ReplyDelete
  9. Make the back wheels turnable (so that it is easier to push the trolley against the wall and for easier maneuvering around tight bends.)

  10. I want to make the trolleys lighter to be able to push it easily!

  15. Easier to be use for those who are weak like the elders.

  16. The trolley is too bulky, we can make the trolley proportions smaller. By doing so, others can use the trolley easily when going into tight corners/spaces.

  17. Chosen Statement:
    I want to improve airport trolleys by making them able to secure luggage properly.
    Reason:
    (Sometimes people's luggage may fall off the trolley and hit other people. So this can reduce injuries and also can make it easier for the people to put luggage onto the trolley since they do not have to worry about the luggage arrangement and whether it may fall off)

  18. Chosen statement:
    I want to improve on the material used to make trolleys.
    How:
    Change them from metal to rubber.
    Reason:
    So that the trolleys will be able to expand to occupy a little more space for food that are in big packages and that when bottles that are made out of glass are put in, they will not crack. Furthermore when people get hit by the trolleys it will not be so painful.

  19. I want the wheels of the trolley to be smooth so that the trolleys can be pushed around easily and can turn easily.

  20. I want to make the material used to make the trolley lighter. (The trolley is very heavy to push, and sometimes the shoppers might even have to carry their groceries themselves to the cashier. This would make it very hard for the elderly/disabled to shop for items.)

    ReplyDelete
  21. The want to set something that I can use to load in groceries into taxis much more easily

    ReplyDelete
  22. Make wheels that are smooth and easy to push, cuz some people are weaker than others.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Make the trolley lighter and less bulky. (We cannot push the trolley around easily as it is too heavy and there may not be enough space for the trolley to move.)

  25. The trolly should be less in its length and width
    Reason:
    (As it is very hard to maneuver it and it takes a lot of space)

    ReplyDelete
  26. I want there to be more trolley during peak hours

    ReplyDelete
  27. I want to make two types of trolleys- one type is a tall trolley for tall people so to reduce the surface area; the other type is the typical type, but with more basket for more storage, most for children, elderly, and short people

    ReplyDelete
  28. Some trolley's wheel's joints are not very smooth, so I want the trolley's wheel's joints to be very smooth. (What I mean is that when we are pushing the trolley it stop, stop then goes.It will not be able to go straight. Instead it goes side ways. Then we have to use more of our energy to control it to go straight without hitting those people beside me.)

  31. Lesson 2 by nicholas and dominic


    Solution: Installing sensors to the trolleys

    Why?
    Why do we have this situation?
    Why hasn’t it been dealt with?
    Why might anyone not want to deal with it?

    Answers:
    It is because nowadays there are many inconsiderate people who do not return trolleys to their respective supermarkets/shops and installing sensors will enable shopkeepers to track down their trolleys whenever they notice that their trolleys are missing.

    Installing sensors are very expensive, and there are many trolleys in the world, and some selfish people may steal the sensors for their own use.

    They feel that by not installing sensors is the better way as it is costly and they would rather buy new trolleys to replace the lost ones.
