DESIGN BRIEF
Client Company:

SPHS

Target
Consumer:

Futbol players

Problem
Statement:

To make it easier for the coach to tell

whether or not the soccer ball went into
the goal

Design
Statement:

The design statement is to create a

soccer goal that flashes when a ball
enters the goal, but not the goalie

Constraints:

The constraints of our project were; size,

money, and to make it only made from
metal vex parts
