Standing Box • Provide a means for one person to get into the standing box • Method Considerations • pulley/wench system • accessibility • blow-up device • shape (round, rectangle, multiple shapes) • size • counterweight device • amount of weight
Fishing Rod Construction • Rod Types to consider • Fly rod • long cork handle rod • short ergonomic handle rod
Setbacks & Future Plans • Standing Box top was inadvertently thrown out • Testing different methods of getting into the standing box • Further research into electrical stimulation (efficacy) • Put together the fishing rod holder
