Week0 Narrative

 * Intro to class.I watched the bristlebot video | How to make a bristlebot and was choosen to complete this project. The video gave me some ideas. Started documenting in my engineering notebook.

Week1 Narrative

 * This past weekend I worked on my project Bristlebot. The goal is to take a vibrator out of a tooth brush, to use the brush head of the tooth brush, along with a battery, wiring connectors, double tape and super glue. Over this past weekend I put all the ideas in my engineering notebook, performed as much as I could at home, and left with a project that is almost finished. I do not have a final set up yet as the final looks like it will be something moving on the ground.

Week2 Narrative

 * My first attempt did not work and was an engineering failure. The battery kept physically falling off. I started by putting electrical tape vertically aligning it with the battery since it was so tall. Also, since the wire was too long, I avoided cutting it too short so I double taped a path diagonally around the battery and put the wire on it to perfect it to the top just enough to activate the Bristlebot on or off.


 * My second attempt was better. I added some tape, molded the wire around the top of the battery to attract connectivity, and also stuck the bottom of the battery directly on the vibrator using a metal for connection and double tape to stick it.

Week3 Narrative

 * I will be finishing week 3 by filling out the CDIO page for my team and by finishing my own wiki page.
 * Bring all the bristlebots in the group to class and hand them off to the next team that will take them even further.
 * You may see my project video demoBristlebot Project Video, along with a picture on the side with a caption.
