Week1 Narrative
''My project for this session is the Cornstarch Walker. This week our group came up with possible design ideas that we could use to make out cornstarch walker. Our main categories were type of movement, energy source, and speed vs constant pulse. After that we divided up the research that we each should do. I did my research on Swimming and Running(4 legs) across cornstarch, as well as batter and motors for control. I found that swimming would be particularly difficult because swimming requires you to push and pull the water and you can't really do that with a cornstarch mixture. Running would be fairly straight forward because its already been done before. It would just require you to apply constant pressure and movement. The hard part in running would be finding an energy source that is constant and controllable. I also did some research on batteries and motors. They are are especially because they come it all shapes and sizes and can do just about any type of movement that you need them to. The downside is that they are not exactly water or cornstarch proof, which means that they could possibly get damaged during our experiments.''--Minhnguyen (discuss • contribs) 15:11, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

My Second Task
''On Tuesday my group will be meeting up to compile our research on to one presentable document. That way we can see all the pros and cons of all the different methods that we came up with last week. We will also be voting on which idea will be the best and the most realistic. After that we will most likely have to do more research so that everyone is on the same page and understands what our machine needs to do.''
