Yo! We're UFO-Yo, a group planning to make a batch of 50 UFO yo-yos this semester as a part of 2.008: Design and Manufacturing II. The class teaches us all sorts of information on different manufacturing processes and what sort of design constraints or possibilities are associated with each. Outside of lecture we get the chance to apply our knowledge by machining molds to thermoform and injection mold parts for a yo-yo, which we've sat down to brainstorm and came up with the idea of a UFO. We're excited to get started! Next week we'll return with a SolidWorks model and some specifications of our final product.
