Write problem/project Goal
create a design for a rubberband gun, and a tripod

My First Task
What are you going to do for the team this first weekend?

I will find the materials that we will need for the tripod and the rubberband gun and make a design for the tripod and rubberband gun.

Summary of actual work over first weekend
The work that I did over the first weekend was mostly what I planned to do I made a design and then when a design was picked in class I made a list of materials then. This was different since i planned to make the list over the weekend/

Week1 Narrative
For my team I made a design for a tripod, i made sure that the design would be stable so i made the bottom flat and made three legs so that the stand would be sturdy. Then i came up with an idea of using a block of wood withe spikes to load the rubberband gun by pulling the rubberband over the barrel to the trigger to make reloding quicker and easier. Then i decided to make a gatling gun instead of a one shot gun so that it could be used longer. Then i put all of my ideas into a stetch so that it could be seen togethor.

My Second Task
For my second task I will be making a 3d design of the tripod and of the reloder that I designed.

Summary of actual work over second weekend
This is not different than what i said i would do because i did create a 3d design of the reloder and the tripod.

Week2 Narrative
During the week i downloaded 123d software so that i could make my 3d design then i made my reloder which i did by making a rectangle from under create. Then i made cylinders from under create and attached them to the rectangle to make the reloder. To make the tripod i dtarted with 4 rectangles 3 legs and a center peice with a cylinder to mount the gun on so that it can swivel. Then i attached all of the peices togethor so that it made a tripod.then i tried to figure out how to upload to google docs. which i have not done yet so it will be done by next week.

My Third task
Once we get the materials i plan on starting making the design with the peices that i am assigned.

Summary of actual work over third weekend
My week went as planned because i made the tripod, wedge and end peices of the gun.

Week3 Narrative
over the weekend i created the end pieces, tripod and wedge for the rubberband gun. To make the end peices i just cut two 2 foot sections as a front and back peice which will add to support to the rubberband gun. To make the wedge i made a 20 inch piece and two 2 inch sections which i screwed onto the top of the end of the 20 inch piece to make the wedge. To make the tripod i cut three 2 foot section and a 5 inch section. on the 5 inch section i cut 30 degree angles on each end then the two 2 foot sections that connect to the 5 inch part i had 30 degree angles. On the bottom i had 15 degree angles. for the front leg the bottom had a 30 degree angle and the top had a 45 degree angle then scrap angles from 15 and 30 with alternating ends facing opposite directions to make a better fit.

My Fourth task
During the final week i plan on assembling the rubberband gun and then testing it to make sure that it is working like it is supposed to.

Summary of actual work over fourth weekend
I did what is said because i cut my peices and then i worked on fitting them togethor.

Week4 Narrative
over the weeken i drilled a hole 6 inches from each end on both the front and rear pieces then all of my pieces were ready for assembly and everyone else needed to do there part so we could assemble the gun.
