Product Life Cycle Manufacturing Normal Use Disposal

Manufacturing PCB - formaldehyde, lead, etc contains toxins and carcinogens LCD - sodium hexafluoride and other chemicals - global warming and ozone depletion Packaging - wood extension to arena Future iterations - minimize size of PCB, make arena extension not out of wood

Normal Use Two power supplies - high power consumption Future iteration - use only one power supply

Disposal Electronic waste from PCB and LCD - recycled or reclaimed at special centers Batteries for WiiMotes - advertise using rechargeable batteries or recycling them Plastic arena and robots - use recyclable or biodegradable plastic, or advertise recycling it Wood - biodegradable Biggest issue - getting users to do something besides throw it in the trash
