Robotic Assembly Line Class Challenge!

Individual Achievements:
"Share it"
The team before our machine had a very good plan, idea, and machine. Although if they would want to perfection their machine I would comment on how it took a while for the cube to get to the second machine, therefore I say they should fix the speed on their project.

"Nice One!"
An outside team member that helped my group the most, in my perspective, would be Andrew. Andrew was in charge of the first machine (the first machine, [before ours]), having Andrew as a fast helper. I particularly remember him helping us on resetting our program, since our program had switched to another incorrect setting.

"And the Winners Are..."(Improvisation, Initiative, Humor, Sportsmanship, Teamwork)
Improvisation: The team member who showed improvisation was Andrew. His machine was not working because the cubes would fall to the side making the machine to stop. So he thought of a handy way and created a tape barrier.
Initiative: I would give Niki the initiative award because she handled the project very well, having in mind that she had never taken this class before.
Humor: Morgan was very funny throughout the project, telling our group "It's broke again." When we had just fixed it a couple minutes ago.
Sportsmanship: This award goes to Marco and Hunter. Their machine was very nicely built, though they never bragged or showed it off, which shows sportsmanship.
Teamwork: The team who showed teamwork was Andrew and his teammate. They were always working together.

"Share It" - Provide feedback (Sustain, Change, Question, Idea) for another team. Who did you provide feedback to and what was it?

"Brianiac" 10 Ideas/Concepts: solutions for my design

1) A one axle vehicle
2) A six wheel (three axle) vehicle using the mouse trap and ruler to make it advance
3) A small light car
4) Using the ruler to catapult your vehicle
5) Use the mouse trap to catapult your vehicle
6) Small vehicle with heavy parts, so when catapulted it won't
7) Place the vehicle in a certain part of the ruler
8) Place a black piece in between the wheel set
9) Rubber wheels
10) Stabilize the wheels


"Visualize It"




















"Build It": Build your design. Document it with a photo.



















"The Price for Glory"





  • Wheel (4)= $4



  • Black box (2)= $2



  • Axles (2)= $2



  • Ruler (1)= $1




Total: $ 9



"Competitor"
Yes
"Long Distance Winner!"
Yes

"Going the Mile!"
Yes

"Led Foot"
Yes

"Heavy Foot"
Yes

"Feedback"
? Four small/big wheels
! Good in-flight movement change: on board engine
+ Light Car

Iterate: "Re-work"
Our design had four big wheels, if i could change it i would probably suggest all small wheels.

"Game Changer"
Make a vehicle with at least two axles and more that ten parts.

"Name It"
Build my vehicle fairly small

Clean Up: "Leave it cleaner that you found it"
We left everything clean and also helped others clean.

Reflection:
"Design/Build"





  • The design/ build process is fist of all imagining your design and later changing it up when you build it, since you encounter problems that you did not foresee.



  • We could relate because we first imagined a design but drastically changed it when we actually started building.



  • You can experience it when you build your design. You can change your idea as you go along.
