Week1 Activities
This week I need to learn how to use Sketchup and get good enough to build off of previous team's work.

Week1 Narrative
Downloaded Sketchup and getting acquainted with the software, will be checking up on the last group's Sketchups that they have posted to get a better idea of what to do.

Here is the associated CDIO page for this project.

My Second Task
Construct a chunk of the Goldberg and transfer it over to SketchyPhysics to test it.

Summary of actual work over second weekend
Kept making different Rube Goldberg's and almost "free-styling" them just so new and random parts would keep coming, and thus be defined. The team and I decided to come up with our own individual labels for each part of the Rube Goldberg's we create and compile them towards the end. It seems that most definitions we come up with for the parts of the Goldberg seem to be synonyms, so linking them all together into one data base won't be hard.

Week2 Narrative
Have a lot of different designs for a potential Rube Goldberg, but those will have to wait until a solid database of functions is defined.

Summary of actual work over third weekend
Started making practice models on sketchup and defining each part.

I found a few tutorials to help with making simple sketchup models, which can be found in the tutorial section of this page.

Check out the CDIO page for information on the input/output functions.
