Problem Statement: Current dark room tongs are ineffective and make it very difficult to grasp the prints from out of the chemicals. The gripping system that they use just doesn’t adhere enough to hold them and take them out of the chemicals. Also with the current tongs, the chemicals get caught in some of the grooves and contaminate the other chemicals. The design has to be simple yet rigid to take the wear.

Problem Statement: It is a fact that... When you are working in a tight space with hand tools with no lights it is hard to see what you are doing. Also, if you are in a situation where you do need to use a light you only have one hand available because the other is holding onto the light. So, in some circumstances you have to manipulate a way to hold the light and have both of your hands free to be able to do what you want to do.

Problem Statement: After a good amount of snowfall overnight or a solid accumulation of ice on your windshield in the morning, a car starter, ice scraper, and or defroster just won’t cut it. It takes too long especially when you’re in a hurry to get out of the driveway, you’re running late, or you don’t know how much snow has fallen and don’t give yourself the time needed to clean off your car. Cleaning off your car can be a hassle and a tedious task especially if you need to do it every day, multiple times a day, and you don’t have the right tools needed. Snowbrushes break, scrapers become dull, you can’t reach the tough spots, and you’re always replacing them when they break, which costs money.

Problem Statement: There is no product developed that can effectively simulate the knuckleball pitch. The batter is at a disadvantage because they have no way to efficiently practice hitting a knuckleball when any pitcher could pick up a ball and learn how to throw a knuckleball. A batter needs a means of learning the different ways to track and hit a knuckle ball.
