Write problem statement
Is there a way to make a Rube Goldburg Machine out of old printers and scanners?

Assign Task1
This week I took home a scanner and dissembled it to look for usable parts.

Compare actual work done to Task1
Took apart scanner and found many usable parts. I also started taking apart one of the main printers and found a a large spectrum of usable pieces.

Week1 Narrative
This week I did a majority of the dissembling and came out with some really interesting parts. The laser scanner from the scanner will be very useful. Also some unknown parts removed from the large printer are very versatile.

Assign Task2
Derive at least one simple machine from the assortment of useable parts.

Compare actual work done to Task2
We did not come up with an actual working machine but we did get several ideas put together and we finished taking the pictures apart and are ready to begin construction.

Week2 Narrative
This week I finally finished disassembling all the printers and the laser scanner. I did a good job of delegating different tasks to my team mates and making sure we kept pushing the project forward. Me and my father are currently working on finding a motor suitable for the the laser scanner so that when a circuit is completed the scare will travel the whole distance down the slide rod.

Assign Task3
Have at least a full completed design for the Rube Goldburg machine. I am expecting that we actually make progress on the model.

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.

Week3 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.
