RPI Philosophy
Define metrics that, when small, are more likely result in product post-use. Metrics for the following Part complexity (more complex is bad) Part size (smaller parts are bad) Removable features (preferred) Relative stress level (low stress -- less damage?) Amount of mating (moving) contact areas (minimize)
