My
revenue drivers are hard to quantify considering that my service is an upgraded
and revitalized version of the UF SNAP (Student Nighttime Auxiliary Patrol). UF
Student Government, Student Traffic Court, and the University of Florida Police
Department sponsor the current system. More specifically, its funding comes
from “the transportation fee generated from
student tuition fees and the University of Florida Police Department through
contributions from their own annual departmental budget.” With proper presentation
and advertising, alumni can additionally fund my business.
My customers want reliable, free on campus transportation.
The main issue with SNAP right now is that it is slow and frustrating due to
driver discretion and technological difficulties. My improvements will most
definitely improve user experience.
The product I decided to explore was the SYMA X5C Explorers Axis Gyro RC Quadcopter With HD Camera.
Reviews average 4.1/5 stars and most people agree that it is easy to fly and is
durable. They don’t like how little the batteries last or the quality of the
camera. I would make a change to the aesthetics of the drone since I think it
is visually unappealing with the white, blue, and red.
Although
this product can’t relate to my service, I thought it would be a cool one to
check out. Drones, especially Quadcopters with cameras, are becoming
increasingly popular. In fact, I am considering purchasing one in the near
future for my entertainment.

Hey Ryan,
ReplyDeleteThough I have only used it a few times, I have heard many complaints regarding the issues which you listed. It seems that the Student Nighttime Auxiliary Patrol could really benefit from a bit of a reboot. You have identified a need and an opportunity which could definitely thrive on this campus. I also have noticed the increased interest in these drones so I enjoyed your review.
