Problem Statement
''In one or two sentences, describe the project that your group will be working on. Identify what CDIO phase (Conceive, Design, Implement, or Operate) your group will complete in this project cycle.''

Project Plan
Briefly describe your group's plan for the next 4 weeks, including major tasks that will be completed each week.

Week 1 Narrative
''Describe in detail what you did for your team during the week (and weekend). Compare your task (from CDIO discuss page) with what you actually did.''

Week 2 Narrative
This week my task was to finish building and modify the design of the automatic shaker table. We had to work with the constraints that Mr. Edelen gave us, so we had to cut the pipe down to make it all fit on the table that it would be on. The pipe part of design is just under 2 feet. We had to make it small enough for it the fit on the underlying frame. We were originally going to find some sort of fastener to hold the piping down to the frame, but instead we decided to use screws. The screws work very well, as they are flush with the pipe and the table doesn't move in the slightest. The other thing that we had to do is to cut out a slot for the armature to fit through the outside of the box. The platform that we are using for this shaker table is of higher quality to that of its manual counterpart. Like the manual shaker table, we screw in bolts to hold the dowel rods in place. Mainly, the last thing to be done is to configure the motor and gears to the table.
