During the week, I was unable to progress in my gear reducer/speed reducer project, as I was commited to continue learning the vinyl cutter. My projects for the vinyl cutter are to create a decal for a teacher and to create a t shirt for myself. This week was a very productive week in terms of completing and/or progressing in terms of completing these goals. I was able to complete the task of creating a decal for a teacher and is already on their door. In addition, I created a t shirt, however, the shirt burned and I must do it again. The decal was for Mr. Craw, and had the words "Worlds or Bust" and on the next line, "FRC". I completed this and put the decal on his door. For the t shirt project, I was finally to create the design properly. However, I failed to realize that I had to flip the design to put on the t shirt. I was able to flip the design and then vinyl cut it again. I created the t shirt, but the design burned as it was in the heat press for too long.
The design for my decal. It came out very well after a few iterations and I used transfer tape to put it on my teacher, Mr. Craw's door.

The t shirt design. It is based on the fictional paper company in the TV show, The Office.
