This is where work on my Hover Craft project exists.

Give instructor top 3 project choice list
1. Hovercraft 2. Robot End effector 3. Robot arm 4. Door access

Write problem statement
Make a HoverCraft with an autopilot and sensors that can avoid people yet travel down a crowded school coorridor.

Assign Task1
To look up information on the hovercraft to better understand the entire project, and for me to go out to Joan's to buy a good piece of Styrofoam for our base.

Compare actual work done to Task1
I already understood how a hover craft works for the most part. But what I did not understand, was how the remote control works. I found out it had something to do with radio waves. But my team and I had decided to just use remote control car remotes instead, so now I do not have to try to figure out how it works. Also, I successfully obtained a good piece of Styrofoam for our base. And it came wrapped already in plastic, so we are just going to use that as our skirt.

Week1 Narrative
My teammates and I got the first parts of the hover craft done. The holes through the bottom of the hover craft for the two fans blowing downward have been cut. And the skirt has been tested, and it works well. We needed sensors for our hover craft. And after asking, I found out that we may be able to use the sensors from those Lego robots.

Assign Task2
I am planning on making sure my wiki page is up to date, and we decided that we need to mostly just work on building the hover craft for right now, and I am in North Carolina this weekend, so I cannot meet with them to build it. So we will just continue putting stuff on the hover craft next class.
