Bottle Opener Final Thoughts

Below is a photo of our SolidWorks parts--a component of our design process that I forgot to include in my earlier entries.

Cyber Reindeer!

Overall, I am very pleased with our results--our bottle opener easily opens one bottle, and although it sometimes takes a few tries and some strength, it is able to open two bottles at the same time.  With their shiny noses and expressive eyes, our little Rudolphs spread cheer wherever they go, just like the holiday season they represent.  If given more time, I might attempt to mount a copy of our reindeer onto a wall, to see what effect the wall's stability would have on the energy that needs to be expended in order to open two bottles at the same time.
