List of Problems:
Problem # 1 - Chainsaw Mill - I personally have a chainsaw mill now and consistently find myself complaining about it when I use it. Over the last four years I have been using it I have been coming up with ideas for the ultimate chainsaw mill. Although the market for this product is not as large as some other team's, I think I will be successful in selling it if I ever want to.
Problem # 2 - Bomb Squad Frame - We have learned that the bomb squad tactics and equipment are not perfect. One of the main problems they addressed was that they needed a frame to hold explosive breaching charges. They will utilize this breaching frame when they need to breach a door or put a hole in a wall for members of the SWAT team to enter a building.
Problem # 3 - Rake with attached trash bag
Everyone who has raked leaves in the past knows the annoyance of picking up the leaves and putting them in a trash can or bag after they are piled up. I thought, just skip that step and rake the leaves straight in right away. Patricia says that she has arthritis in her knees and lower back, so something that skips the step of picking up the leaves is a life saver for her.
Problem # 4 - Camera Case for bomb squad- Ocean City Bomb Squad has told us the need highly impact and shock resistant lens covers for the cameras on their bomb robot. The lens covers will need to be able to to resist blasts from bombs as well as bullets that may hit them.

Problem Statement:
Many people have the desire to turn their trees into lumber. Portable bandsaw mills for hire are hard to find and expensive in our area. To get around this expense, people that already own chainsaws can mill lumber with our attachment that clamps onto the chainsaw bar. Similar products are on the market already but they have some major flaws and weaknesses that can be eliminated by our mill.
Individual Summary:
Being familiar with the forestry/saw-milling/woodworking industry, I have found that their are many ways to go about making the end product. With all of these ideas though, my head gets a little cloudy with all of the details so keeping an organized engineering notebook and diligently writing down ideas as I come up with them is becoming paramount. Like Ian, I have found that this Weebly is not the kind of project I can procrastinate until the last minute. In order to be successful, I need to be ahead of the deadlines, give myself a class to review the Weebly, and make sure I have all of the items covered.
