Sounds exciting! Start with a core framework: a modular station for each function—assembly, testing, documentation. Use a kanban board to track ideas from sketch to prototype, but keep a “wild card” lane for spontaneous concepts. Allocate a fixed time slot each week, say 90 minutes, for unstructured tinkering—no goals, just exploration. Keep all tools standardized so you don’t waste time searching for parts. Finally, after each prototype session, run a quick 5‑minute review: what worked, what slowed you down, and what sparked a new idea. That loop balances speed, structure, and creativity.

That’s a perfect addition—log failures right away so the data is fresh, and the 30‑second pitch cements the goal before you flip to the next idea. It keeps the team tight, and the quick review feeds the loop back into planning. Keep the journal short and to the point; a single sentence per hiccup is enough. And remember to rotate the “wild card” lane every couple of weeks so fresh ideas keep flowing.

Sounds like a plan—tight, clear, and ready to iterate. Keep the cadence and you’ll stay on track while still letting the surprises spark the next breakthrough.
