123 Design Continue

                  I have recently been working on my 3D design. I talked about it in my last post so this isn't much new that I've done. They only thing that i really did since the last post was just add some towers to the castle. I also changed some of the materials on it as well. I was only here two days last week because so I missed the last day to really work on it. I was also thinking of making some more stickers as well, but I still don't know what Im going to make yet.

Making my castle

For the past week I've been working on a 3D design. My 3D design is going to be a castle. Right now I only have the wall and the main building. I still need to add some color to it and then I need to decorate the main building and then I should be done with it. The whole idea sounds pretty cool since it prints it out 3D. It can also be made out of a lot of stuff but it can't be made out of metal. There is also pre made stuff to that you can select. Then all you have to do is put it together and then you can change the color if you want to as well.

last couple weeks

In the last couple of weeks I've just been working on finishing my stickers. I have just finished today so I am now done. I've pretty much just been trying to find stuff for my stickers, but since I'm done I'm just going to finish my hydraulic judo bot. When it's done I'm going to make mine fight Craig's. Since me and Craig have been working on it together they are pretty much the same. The only difference is that mine is heavier so mine would win because of the weight. So that has pretty much been the last couple of weeks.

Sickers

 In the last couple of weeks we have been doing stickers. I have only made a couple of them because I'm not that good at making them. I only have four but they're not that bad, but they're not great. I found out that it is a lot easier if you use a mouse instead of the track pad. It is also hard trying to find a picture that works when you convert it. A lot of the time the pictures don't come out they you want them. But I still found out a lot of new things that I can do on the program. Its fun to just mess around some times with the tools. That is actually how I came up with one of my stickers. I just need to do a little more on them and then I can finally print them out and start working on my judo bot again.

hydraulic judo bots

Since my last post I've been working on hydraulic judo bots. I am almost done with it all I need to do now is to attache the hydraulics to it and I'm done. So far I have built the base with plenty of support. Then I have also built the frame and the support that will hold the arm. The last thing I built was the arm. The whole thing is built out of Popsicle sticks and a few other things.

As you can see in it is almost done I just need to attache the arm. Then the hydraulics to it and I should be done. When I'm done I'm going to be using this bot to fight with Craig's bot.

rube goldburg cont...

This week we continued to work on our rube goldburg machines. We were almost done when the whole thing fell of the table. We only needed to add the catapult and we would be done.   


This was the catapult that we had it was a little sensitive but it worked. Th rest of it worked we just had one more part to put on.








This was the our project. We needed a lot of support because it was top heavy. It still wasn't that bad it just needed support that we had.

rube goldberg machine

We have recently started making rube goldberg machines. I'm in a group so I am only doing part of it. My part is to make the beginning of it so I'm using an incline plane to hit a lever that will push a ball to go in a tube. After that my group member chris will make a pendulum that will hit a candle and burn the string to hit a ball. After that connor is making a wheel that will catch the ball, rotate the drop the ball which will hit the catapult.

automaton

In the past month we worked on automatons. Personally I think mine could have been better, I didn't really have much time to work. I missed the first day because I was sick, but it still wasn't bad. I want to work on it still because I didn't put in the triangle to keep it square. Then on the day it was due the gears wouldn't catch. But I'm going to keep working on it to make sure I get an "A"
