From Idea to Delivery

We all have them and we’ve all pulled them. Let’s face it — no gardener likes having weeds. When they invade, gardeners roll up their sleeves and go to battle. Getting rid of them can be a nasty chore on a beautiful and sunny day.

So we are holding a contest!

R2Fact has kicked off an Innovation Competition for Garden Weasel in collaboration with the University of Kansas Industrial Design Department to design the best Garden Weasel ‘WeedPopper.’ The objective is to make Garden Weasel’s WeedPopper best in class. We strive to outperform all other weeder tools on the market in every way – function, use, weight, cost and styling.

The 14-week product design competition (Sept. 11 – Dec. 14) will include four stages – research, concept development, design refinement/mockup and CAD model rendering — with a final presentation of the product.
The winner receives $800 and the runner-up will get $400.

Great products become even better because the minds behind them don’t rest on their laurels. Innovative thinkers continually expand and rethink better design and better function, striving to stay ahead of competition – long before it comes nipping at their heels.

Be a part of tomorrow’s cutting-edge product engineering. We’re excited to see your product design, because no one likes weeds!
