Week0 Preferences
We are only doing 4 projects in this class which are, Model Railroad, Maze Solver, Fido, and Mazie. My list of preference on the projects from highest to lowest is Mazie, Maze solver, Fido, Model Railroad.

Week1 Narrative
Beruk and I are assigned to the Mazie project, which is using an Arduino and another chip called Parallax to make a little robot move through a maze, which is also created my us. If you go to the Parallax website they have tutorials that will help you step by step on how to set up the robot to the coding on the Arduino. i found out that there are many different ways to make this robot run though the maze but i started with the whisker but im going to try all of them to see which one work the best. You use 2 big metal whiskers in front of the robot and it tells the Arduino when ether of the whisker are touched then it sends a signal to the Arduino and then it moves its wheels depending on the input. Before i get started i need to get all of my parts, which are: 2 whisker wires, 2 7/8″ pan head 4-40 Phillips screws, 2 ½″ round spacer, 2 nylon washers size #4, 2 3-pin m/m headers, 2 220 Ω resistors(red-red-brown), and 2 10 kΩ resistors(brown-black-orange). I am only missing the 7/8″ pan head 4-40 Phillips screws and nylon washers size #4, which i told the teacher about and he will get it to me next class. i also got the big boxes to make the maze out of.

Week2 Narrative
Since i didnt get all the parts needed to put the whiskers on the robot i skipped that step and started wiring the parallax. i just when to the tutorial and it gave me a picture of how to wire it all up...Parts list/Wiring list i also had to cut the 1/2" round spacer by hand and it dosent tell you how long it should be so i just made it 1.5".

Week3 Narrative
''Tell a detailed story describing what you did for your team over the first weekend. Link to any CDIO documents you are working on that need to be considered for project points. Compare your task with what you actually did.''
