Write problem/project Goal
The group is going to try and finish the combo lock pick project and have it unlocking combo locks

My First Task
Brainstorm and come up with different ways to assemble the combo lock pick project and then join our ideas to come up with the best solution

Summary of actual work over first weekend
I came up with a few sketches of different ways to mount our system and will share with the rest of the group.

Week1 Narrative
I started out with basic sketches of different ways to mount of combo lock pick and searched the Internet for similar projects. I found a few good ideas and tried to incorporate them the best I could with what we have so far for our project. My biggest problem is how to attach/remove the lock into our system without having to disassemble the actual lock pick. Maybe a sliding mechanism for the pick may work, or the solenoid can be slid up and down to attach the combo lock. My next step is to share these ideas with the rest of the group and come up with the best solution and start building.

My Second Task
The group gave me the choice of working on the solenoid-lock connection or developing a position sensor for the solenoid.

How is what you did different than what you planned?

Week2 Narrative
Tell a detailed story describing what you did for your team over the weekend.

My Third task
Record what you are planning on doing for the team during the third weekend.

Summary of actual work over third weekend
My job has turned into helping out with the base and if I can find a simple and easy to use conection for the lock-solenoid present that to the group

Week3 Narrative
I have been coming up with ideas on how to create a solenoid-to-lock connection. We need a simple and easy to use solution and i have come up with a few ideas, like a carabiner, or key chain can be as simple as they get. My other task continued to be working on the base with Jeremy, and hopefully start building a prototype this week.

My Fourth task
I have been asked to find a way to attach a type of position sensor to our solenoid so that we can send a signal to our arduino telling it when the lock has been open, stopping the process of combninations and sending that signal to the arduino so that it can give us the combination that unlocked the lock.
