Issue: Climbing holds lose texture over time. Currently no existing climbing hold resurfacing materials or tools.

Engineering Requirements 80% original texture (surface roughness 5.5x10-5in) Cost of operation (< $3.00/hold) Size of device (< 6 ft longest length) Durability of machine (>500 holds before maintenance) Color (visual color scale) Customer Requirements Save money Climbing holds will gain usable texture while resembling original hold Can be applied to majority of hold collection Can be stored reasonably Can recolor

The engineering requirement to restore 80%
direct client approval and a poll. The poll results of the poll are seen in figure 7 with an average rating of 8.2 out of 10. The poll shows that people believed that the retextured holds resemble 82% the texture
