3The Project:Design a desk organizer with interchangeable parts.Constraints: all components must be able to attach to different base units.Must have 5 components on base unit4CollaborationInitial collaboration was done via SkypeAdditional communicationCell PhoneText MessagesEmailShare Drive with 1 working word document5ExamplePegDepth of peg would be .5 tnDiameter would be .25 tnSpacing on base would be .75 up and down and across tn

6Arrangement of holes for base unit.Tb. 1/29/10 LoolL Looks good. I am using a base dimension of 12 x 8.5 with height of 1 all in inchesPegs off accessories diameter .25, length .5 , is this what you wanted? tnWe should also state a maximum length of pin that the base will accept. I would say that the base should be able to accept a pin that is no longer than .75. That means there should be a clearance on the back side of each hole of at least .75. tbb
