Improvement Ideas
We narrowed the field of our ideas and concepts down to 4 top choices keeping these aspects in mind:
-Randomness of the shuffling
-Noise reduction
-Simplification of the overall process
Concept 1 - Ramp Output Tray
This design includes a ramp that extends outside the shuffler a little so that the cards will fall down and out and will be easier to remove.
The operating button will be relocated so that it is not infront of the output slot anymore.
We feel this ramp will not only make the cards easier to remove, but it will present the cards in a more aesthetic fashion.
Concept 2 - Self Cutting Shuffler
This design will have one slot for the user to load the entire deck into, which will be angled so that the deck proceeds to slide down after it is placed. The design of the shuffler will then cut the deck in half automatically, with the bottom half going into the lower cache to be shuffled by the wheel and the top half going into the upper cache to be shuffled in.
This concept eliminates the needs for the user to cut the deck evenly everytime the shuffler is used. We feel this design simplifies the overall process and that it would provide a good solution to speeding the use of the shuffler up.
