Problem Statement Team Alpha has decided to address the problem of not being able to control the amount of sunlight that enters a window. Some of the applications of this product are to assist the used in wasking up in the morning, security, privacy, temperature control, plant life, and furniture fading. Team Alpha must create a device that will attach to ordinary 1" vinyl blinds, will not damage the existing blinds, and can be removed from the blinds making them fully operational as if they were just purchased. Team Alpha cannot exceed a $500 budget. University of Notre Dame 2004
