Write problem statement
Brainstorm ideas on the mechanics of a of a model boat with the most common items available.

Assign Task1
Timothy Francis: Materials Research

Wesley Rodriguez: Model Boat Remote

Zach Thompson: Motors & Mechanics

Damilola Kukoyi: Boat Design and Mechanics

Compare actual work done to Task1
Timothy Francis: Materials Research Completed- Plastic boat with Styrofoam casing inside to hold mechanisms

Wesley Rodriguez: Model Boat Remote- Still to be completed

Zach Thompson: Motors & Mechanics- 9VDC Motor found online $3.99 due to quantity=6.99

Damilola Kukoyi: Boat Design and Mechanics- Still To Be Completed

Week1 Narrative
Problem #1: Do not know which material to utilize for the boat's mechanics on the exterior

Solution: Asked group members after doing much needed research and we concluded that plastic is the best material for the boats exterior because it is manipulable and possesses and certain sense of balance when on water.

Problem #2: Need to determine the quantity in which is needed to construct a prototype of the model boat.

Solution: Discussed with the group and came to the conclusion that we will determine material quantity when other logistics are completed.
