A: I don't know how intelligent that one looks .
B: C: Yeah he he doesn't look that smart .
C: He's a  I dunno um they're C: I think it's cool the the um the interaction that or the th things that the reasons people seem to like you know C: you get ex you know people are sitting on the beach and p they're like oh look there's dolphins and it's kinda like  C: but they're you know they jump around in the water and they're happy and they're mammals , but they swim .  A: Yes .
A: Does anybody else wanna draw their animal ?
B: Suppose I can draw an animal , yeah .
A: A: .
C: A: Uh-oh there goes the ten .
B: Yeah .
A: It's a cat . C: B: I don't know .
B: They sleep all day , they're easy to draw .
A: A: Do you wanna anything ?
D: Uh yeah .
A: I dunno if the the D: Well I had the cat as well , but uh I've got a spare one .
B: I think the pen is running out of A: ah .
C: B: D: So I'll use the spare one .
D: Um but it's harder to draw um .
C: And the pen's dying .
D: Um .
A: A horse .
D: Uh .
C: Horse .
D: Um I don't really know how the legs go ,
B: A: That's very good .
B: D: but anyway I will do that .
D: Um , and the main reason is they're pretty .
D: I think they're very pretty and they go well with the environment ,
D: and I like the way they run
D: and I used to do horse riding and they're just very sort of sturdy and nice animals .
D: And I like the way um they feel , sort of under under the hand ,
D: I think that's pretty much it .
D: Um A: Yeah .
A: This cord's  A: Uh . Right .
A: Actually I haven't thought of anything yet .
A: Uh B: A: It's a pig .
D: A: So I'm thinking we should design a remote control that's
A: water resistant , strong and furry .
A: What do you think , yeah ?
C: And furry .
A: This is A: yeah , well like a cat , you know , soft yeah .
B: C: Textile tactile , tactile remote control .
D: A: Although A: uh I'll just put there .
A: Right .
C: You're dragging a you have a tail .
A: Oh my gosh , this is disastrous .
A: Sorry about that .
A: Okay .
A: So moving on .
A: Our selling price goal is twenty five Euro
A: and profit aim is fifty million Euro .
A: So I'm guessing that we're not actually in Scotland , we're in some European country .
A: Um , and we will hope to sell this internationally .
C: Sorry can you just say that what's the what are our price goals again ?
A: Um selling price is twenty five Euro . Profit aim fifty million Euro .
C: Okay .
D: How many should we sell then ?
D: Um , a lot ,
A: Anyone a mathematician ? D: two two two million ,
D: two mi no ,
D: more f four million .
B: Two million .
D: Four million .
D: And it D: well it's the profit so if a profit for each is twelve fifty , that'll do four million .
B: B: Oh , yeah .
D: It is a lot . Uh .
A: So f that's a fifty percent um uh .
A: Um , I don't know what these mean because I didn't actually make the slide-show .
A: Experience with remote control .
A: So I guess we have to reflect on our experiences with remote controls to decide what um we would like to see in a convenient , practical , nice remote control .
A: Um so do we have any initial ideas for uh how this remote control should be designed or formatted or the the buttons it should have .
D: Um , I think one thing is that it should be easy to find
C: I was thinking that too .
D: bec yeah bec
B: A: Yeah .
C: I think we should design something that has like a so you can like somehow like you C: I mean you always know where your T_V_ is , so just have a call button ,
C: I've always wanted that ,
B: D: Yeah , yeah yeah yeah yeah .
C: so like you can push a button on your T_V_ A: Yeah .
A: I mean you have it for the portable phone , so why not yeah .
C: Yeah , yeah yeah yeah ,
C: so you should have a call button on your television to be able to find your remote control .
D: Yeah .
D: And even I think a little light .
D: Um or even a maybe a vib a vibrating thing .
D: I dunno but someth because it's usually under the sofa .
B: C: Yeah . Yeah .
D: In which case you're going to be l
D: but if it has a sort of signal which isn't any sound D: I don't know if it's expensive maybe to C: Yeah .
C: I don't yeah I mean it but like I mean D: Maybe call is enough .
D: But yeah .
C: just I mean like your phone even just has so like it can vibrate , it can light up and make noise and I dunno D: Yeah yeah yeah .
D: Yeah .
A: What if it had something like um just like a magnet on the back of it
A: and you could A: I mean j just to have some place to put it besides like a base .
C: Yeah .
A: You know like a portable phone has a base ,
C: Yeah ,
C: or if it had a C: yeah .
A: like just to have a home for it .
B: D: Yeah yeah yeah yeah .
C: Yeah ,
C: I mean A: 'Cause people just stick it on top of their T_V_ , but the point of having a remote is not to have to walk over to the T_V_ , so B: Well that's why it's always in the couch .
C: Yeah .
A: Yeah .
C: Yeah , in in the couch .
