Phoebe finishes her implementation of the Abstract Factory and goes back to designing more on the robotics for the bicycle factory. How many times have you thought some job or project was simple, only to find out that once you got into the thick of working on it, things involved more than you realized?
Phoebe and Kitty are new to engineering, design, and software development. Phoebe’s unique understanding of the design problems surrounding building an automated factory solidifies over time. She realizes that building a bicycle is more complicated than she had first realized. The sisters built their prototypes by hand. They were able to use wood for the frames and off-the-shelf parts for everything else. They are now committed to making their own frames and handlebars using a lightweight aluminum alloy.
