Week0 Narrative
Your class negotiated 5 or 6 projects to do the rest of the semester. Please rank, in order of preference, your highest through lowest project names.

I was introduced to a YouTube video called (Combo Lock Pick). After watching, I started making plans on how to build the parts needed for the lock to spin. i will be using material giving to me by the instructor. The main ideas for this project revolves around a low budget build form start to finish.

Week1 Construction
I was looking for a way to combine the rubber mount with the motor without damaging the motor itself. that when i found a bucket full of plastic gears and began to build. the original idea was to have a clip attach to the steal wash allowing it to stand to the height of the lock allowing it to spin. but that didn't work because the plastic clip was to long, and every time we try to cut the piece to size, it falls apart. i ended up taking it back apart to take out the wash and put it back together. this time, holding it up with a small metal hook i found at home.

Week2 Redesign
I came up with an idea to for a whole new mounting system that requests a skateboard roller that is attached to the wheel. started brainstorming how to get the skateboard peace to integrate into the new design. i deconstruct the last design, because the glue i use was not strong enough to keep the the mechanical peaces together while it's working. in this new design, the idea is to us less glue and keep the mount together using friction plus force. this was achieved by threading the needle into the rubber cup and through the gears, holding in place by tightening the screw.

Even though it was a great idea for the mounting mechanism that incorporated gear and other items, the design can away be improved. we realize that the mount wont hold after long uses. the new idea was to come up with a design that can be printed out of a 3D printer in the class that can be custom fitted to the motor. group member present there finding starting Monday week 3.

Week3 Narrative
in week 3,I made a couple more adjustment to to combo lock project in order to hold up the mount that fits over the lock head itself. i needed a screw long enough to thread through the mount and thick enough to hold up all the gears and washer need for the project. i found a screw that works just fine but the back is bulging out stopping the rubber mount from having a good connection with the lock, so i used a filer to grind down the end so it can fit properly. a wooding stand was also created with a skateboard bearing in the middle of the board, the board was trim down to equal the height of the lock.

we ran into a couple problem problems, dealing with the the mount itself spinning freely on the on the mount. the connection is to tight and we need a way to loosen it us for to give a good connection. i ran into more problems with the rubber mount itself, it starts to loosen itself on every rotation. here is a better look of the rubber mount.

Week4 Narrative
preferences: 1.) Combo Lock, 2.) tri-bot 3.) Music

Finally found a solution to the motor mount, by embedding a skateboard bearing into the middle of the wood. the mount was aloud to rotate freely with no interference from the washer, screws, or bots. i found a gear that fits just right into the skateboard bearing, but still need a lot of force to pull lose. after that, the rubber holder needed to be mounted to the gear. so i thread the screw through the rubber stopper, and threaded through the middle of the gears holding everything in place.

Overall, this was a really funny and education project. example learning how to read, write, and compile cods for the arduino uno. if possible, i would love to continue this and achieving full completing and presenting my newly found knowledge with the people at the seminar.
