For the Sketches I personally drew the platform. everyone else drew other parts. The platform is where the bikes will actually be locked and is has multiple magnet strips that will hold the bike.
For the 3D modeling we used Fusion 360 and created each part then put them together in one file.
My group is currently working on testing the prototype and redesigning our product.
