Compare actual work done to Task1
The weekends work was successful and now we are converging all of our ideas into one.

Week1 Narrative
A problem we had to figure out during our week was how to get the water to go to the second level of the perpetual motion machine.

Assign Task2
We all divided assignments and I plan on moving the team forward by drawing sketches on Autodesk Inventor for blueprints and designs for the builder, Mike Chung

Compare actual work done to Task2
I drew up all of the models on Autodesk Inventor and emailed the drawings to Mike Chung, who is now building the Escher waterfall. I will also help him read to blueprints and build the waterfall.

Week2 Narrative
I am now continuing to work on the actual waterfall with Mike Chung and i am also re-sketching the autodesk sketches on 123D for more practice and fixing some bugs with my other design.

Compare actual work done to Task3
Over the weekend I spoke to the builder on the team, mike, to make sure all the drawings are up to scale, and they seem to be a little off. So i decided to go to my high school to use software that is was more familiar with (Autodesk Professional 2011)and am still in the process of recreating the drawings.

Week3 Narrative
Problems I had were using Autodesk 123D and the little things from dimensioning certain objects to extruding without changing ratios. My quick fix for this was going five minuets up the street and using software that ive used for 4 years and i am very familiar with.

Compare actual work done to Task4
Over the weekend I started working on re-creating the Waterfall we built on AutoDesk Inventor 2011. I used pictures and dimensions i took from my other teammate to draw the waterfall as accurately as i could. I am still currently working on the drawings on AutoDesk.

Week4 Narrative
My drawings on Autodesk Inventor are almost completed for the the re-creation of the waterfall. I still need to complete the 3rd level along with assembling all of the parts to mate together.
