Week1 Narrative
Looked into Klann's "Mechanical Spider" and thought it was really interesting. Began digging around old boxes in a room for any sort of materials to use to build it, and managed to find a box of K'NEX. Then, proceeded to building the Spider based off of the video, as well as some others. Due to the rather inflexibility of the K'NEX, was not able to test out the shape drawn by the "leg" of the beast. All possibilities have been exhausted of finding more suitable materials in my room, and am now resorting to snooping around others houses to find better ones. This project is turning out to be more exciting than one would have thought.

Here is a link to the CDIO information on this project. CDIO

My Second Task
-Find better materials in order to test out the creation in a more recordable manor.

-Create CDIO information so that other students may learn from the failures/successes.

Summary of actual work over second weekend
This time rather than using K'NEX to make the beast, more practical tools must be found. (K'NEX have run dry). Cut outs from a cardboard box seem to be the next choice.
