My Instructor's user page which points to this.

Week 1 Narrative
Next Steps The nest steps are:

-Possibly pass this along to another member of the group. (If we all have a rough knowledge of how to make gears, then we will be able to move along alot quicker than if only I knew)

-Finding more GIF templates for gear making online and use those to make our own gears that we need for out model.

-Taking, and becoming certified in the Maker bot Test in Wikiversity and on Canvas

- Construction of a gear and testing sending it to the maker bot to be constructed.

Week 2 Narrative
My tasks for the weekend are to become Makerbot certified and find usable things on thingy verse.

- Watched a good video for how the makerbot works

- Found a picture of a printable chain gear.

- Found a good video showing basics how to print things from thingyverse

Next Steps

- Makerbot Demo

- Print a couple of gears to make sure they work

- Send off the gear blueprint to a company that makes metal ones.

- Bring in different bike chains.

Week 3 Narrative
My tasks for this weekend were to (1) Sketch a copy of the TV mount in my notebook w/ dimensions. and (2) Make a model using Google Sketchup.

- This was my first time using Google Sketch up. I learned a lot of what I needed to know from this website that has a variety of different videos that showed me how to do many different things.

Next Steps

- Mount comes in the mail.

- Begin focusing on where exactly we need to place the linear actuators to maximize movement.

- Find someone that can program arduinos or figure out how to do it ourselves.

- Figure out how we are going to connect the linear actuators to the mount itself.
