Week 1 Narrative
I measured all of the critical dimensions for the line following robot by taking it apart and measuring with a digital caliper and ruler. I then gave this to Jayson Green, my partner, to use for creating a model on the computer. This is to design a prototype for the 3D printer to create.

Week 2 Narrative
I got familiar with the 3D printer. I found the Manual for the device and read how to print a test object. Its pretty simple; the SD card it came with has the sample items on it it just needs to be inserted into the printer.

Week 3 Narrative
I looked for a way to convert the file from Autodesk to the file that Makerware can read. Google Sketch up can take the file from Autodesk and convert it to a file Makerware can read with an add-on.

Week 4 Narrative
Started designing an alternate top platform that is open, so getting to the components on the Arduino is easier. Also designing a spoiler for aesthetic purposes only. The new top platform will be same as the old one, but with a cut-out in the middle. Four screws should be used with the new platform to help support the battery pack.
