skidplate) - unwanted; illuminate the ground in front of you - unwanted; play music - unwanted; provide audible warnings (e.g. a horn) - unwanted; and providing cold storage for beer: an unwanted activity. All secondary functions listed as “required” contribute in some way to the ATV's ability to provide off-road transportation. Some form of energy is required and it must be converted into kinetic energy. A driver and his goods require some separation from moving parts. The act of transportation requires the driver to have access to variable speeds, braking and steering. All other functions do not contribute to the basic function. These “unwanted” features provide additional comfort and safety; or non-transportation-based features. Task 3: Design Tools A paired comparison table will classify the objectives of the ATV design project. While the above list of features is a summary of what the product will do, the objectives describe what it is. The following pairwise comparison chart illustrates the designer's vision of the goals for this project (no clients in this one
