Fixperts - Nadav's Folding Cane

This project is a foldable walking cane designed to make everyday mobility more convenient. The cane provides reliable support while walking and folds into a compact form for easy storage when not in use. Designed around the needs of its user, it combines stability, portability, and ease of use, making daily activities such as commuting, traveling, and moving through public spaces more comfortable.
