Give instructor top 3 project choice list

 * Boat
 * Coanda
 * Rubberband gun continuation

Write problem statement
How can the best working gattling gun made out of legos be created so that rubber bands can successfully and efficiently be reloaded then fired?

Assign Task1

 * Keep working on sketchup
 * Think of the details that need to be implemented on the gun
 * Think of a different trigger system (rather than the already implemented string trigger)

Week1 Activities
Rationalize differences
 * Looked up the lego website for motors that can turn our gun.
 * Discovered that both bases holding up our gattling gun should be the same height so that the rubber bands can be fired straight out and not down or up
 * Experimented on the accuracy of the aim on our pistol created the last project

Week1 Narrative

 * The Lego power functions website contains two kinds of batteries. One that works through inserting batteries and delivers around 800 mA. The second is a rechargable battery that can be useful once attached to our gun. The first battery may be too bulk when attached to our gun.


 * A picture of what is seen when aiming with the red eye


 * A picture of my target and the red eye side by side


 * Next step would be to try and improve the accuracy and to approach an average value of 0.


 * Solutions:
 * 1) Move the red eye aim accordingly so the shot can be more accurate
 * 2) I noticed that when the rubber band was winded up, the front of the gun tilted just a bit. So changing the lego blocks and the structure in some way so that it does not tilt.
 * 3) When testing, the same kind of rubber band must be used since they have different elasticity(s).

Assign Task2

 * Decide which battery is best to use for propelling our motor and then ordering it
 * Try removing the second base from our gun since it does not make it look like a gun
 * Experiment new ways a trigger system can be implemented

Week2 Narrative
Upload photos to wikimedia. Upload video to youtube. Convert all spreadsheets, documents, and presentations to wiki format and create wiki subpage of your page for each of them. Link to them here in a narrative that tells a story. High light the problems (engineering problems) you had and how you solved them.

Week2 Peer Review
Go to each team mates weekly summary wiki page. Read their activities and narrative. Then go the associated discussion page. Say something positive on this page. Try some constructive criticism. Add your name and a signature ~ by entering four tildes in a row to create a time and date stamp. Create a new category if another team mate has already commented here.

Assign Task3
