DESIGN GOAL:
A MODULAR CHARGING ECOSYSTEM FOR THE CONSOLE GAMING CONTROLLERS. CROSS-COMPATIBLE STRATEGY ALLOWS CHARGE BASES TO EVOLVE WITH EXISTING CONSOLES/CONTROLLERS, AS WELL AS UPCOMING, UNRELEASED HARDWARE.
Establishing a system.
From day one, the objective was to design a single-controller charger (BLOCK) that can connect to another single-controller, and so on. Blocks for other consoles needed to connect though the system while maintaining visual continuity.
