" They’d started to put the parts together and had Whole Foods baskets all set up to insert into our custom frame. David’s expression suddenly changed. " The team had focused so completely on redesigning the shopping cart frame that they hadn’t had time to work on the baskets.

There were high-tech twists—a microphone to query customer service and a scanner so you could skip the checkout line. Again, we selected the best feature of each prototype and divided the tasks. Next, it was Lego time—everyone started bending wire-welding rods to build tiny model carts.
