My name is Jai and I am a year 11 student who has designed a grabber for wheelchair users.

Hi @JaiBannister, it's very thoughtful of someone your age (if you don't mind me saying so) to think of people with disabilities.
I'm a wheelchair user. I can't quite see from the photo what is different about this grabber compared to existing grabbers on the market? Please could you provide more details? Thank you. -
Hi @JaiBannister - great you're trying this prototype out, Jai. I'm not a wheelchair user, but, out of interest, I looked at your survey. May I point out that questions 3 & 4, altho showing different photos, are asking the same question. You might want to tweak this. Good luck with your project too.

Hello @JaiBannister and welcome to the community.
This sounds like a great project and I wish you the best of luck with it. Before we allow your survey link on the community would you mind dropping us an email to community@scope.org.uk, just to explain what personal data you might collect from anybody taking part, and what you will do with the data you collect from this survey.

@JaiBannister that looks great, I don't use a wheelchair but I use grabbers alot i wouldn't be with out 1. This 1 on the photo looks sturdy enough to pick heavier items up. Good luck with it.

@JaiBannister just a hint, be good if a magnet could be attached to pick up those pesky cutlery that drop on floor

Hi @JaiBannister, out of interest, have you applied to have your gadget patented? If you haven't, unfortunately you won't be able to apply now, as you have spoken of it publicly!
Without a patent, how will you mass produce and market it?
Another individual or company could simply copy your design and profit from your ideas.... -
