Sanding System (Model)
Sanding System (Model)
Planning + Designing
As a class we were tasked to build a factory system that is able to conduct the, molding, sanding, assembling, and packaging of a product. We were dived into four groups each assigned there own role. In our group we worked to create a sanding system. The planning process took into account other sanding mechanisms that factories use.
When designing this system we first started off by developing each of our own designs and ideas. We then came together to discuss what design we would incorporate. We decided that the most efficient design would have to properly portray the sanding system in real life. I suggested that we developed something that would be compatible with processes that came before and after us.
Building
Using VEX V5 systems and other materials, we knew that our system would need to include something that could simulate the sanding process. I highlighted that the use of three gears specifically, would showcase that this system would properly sand the object from all sides as shown in videos of real life sanding systems. As we built our system some materials that we had gathered were not all incorporated because we had times were we felt we needed to change some materials for others or not use it at all. I made sure to incorporate my own ideas.
The model that is shown was what we made through Onshape, and since I don't have any pictures of the system we built, I would be using those images.
Factory System (Conceptual Model)
Factory System (Conceptual Model)
Planning + Designing
As a class we were tasked to build a factory system that is able to transfer the gears in a specified area. We would then have to add a transferring system to simulate the gears transferring from one station to another. We had to plan how we would be able to incorporate this system on what we had already built.
Prior to building our complete factory system, we had already developed the system that just moved the gears into a specific area. We now had to start designing a conveyor belt system that would allow the gears to be pushed into a container. We all knew that this additional system would have to fit in nicely with our.
Building
With the use of VEX V5 systems and other materials in the classroom, we used the designs we had developed to start building. Along with all my teammates, we worked together to develop our design. One of us took charge of the programming after it was built, while I tried to look for all the suitable materials needed so that the rest of the team would be able to help build it. At times when building we had to adjust some of the ideas we already hard to make sure it worked efficiently.
The model that is shown was what we made through Onshape, and since I don't have any pictures of the system we built, I would be using those images.
Compound Machine Report
Compound Machine Report
Grade: 100%
A compound machine uses various simple machines. Our task was to use three simple machines to make a working catapult. We were provided with vex equipment and were given the chance to use other materials. The major concept addressed in this project is to successfully develop a system that correctly uses three different simple machines. Some simple machines we could use include sprockets systems, lever system, pulley system, screw system, wedges, and gears. As a team we made sure we first developed what we would make, then we would start building it. After calculations needed to be made to measure the different systems in the machine. I would say that we took up the most time trying to develop a model, we had some ideas that we weren't sure about and others that we knew we could try.

Energy Sources Presentation
Energy Sources Presentation
Grade: 90%
We live on many energy sources. Some of which are renewable or nonrenewable. After spending sometime researching and exploring these sources, we were to choose a energy source that falls under nonrenewable or renewable. For my presentation I decided on researching coal. I made sure to identify what source coal is. I needed to make sure that I explain the contributions of this energy source to our everyday lives. I believe that what I struggled on the most was putting in at much information as I can. I may have forgot to include some points both in the slideshows and as I presented in front of the class.
Stress and Strain Calculation Presentation
Stress and Strain Calculation Presentation
Grade: 100%
After spending some time learning about what stress and strain are and its impact on the development of structures, we also got to learn how to calculate them. We all individually completed 10 stress and strain related calculations. After, we were then put into groups where we were given certain problems to go over with each other. When in a group we got to share our findings. There were some questions that we had the same answers and some where we didn't. Eventually we had to agree on certain answers all together because we had to present how we found these answers.

Stress and Strain Calculations 1
Stress and Strain Calculations 1
Grade: 75%
As part of our understanding of stress and strain, we needed to calculate it in different scenarios. There were 4 questions that we needed to answer. I was able to understand how to do it but unfortunately I was unaware that we had to show our calculations in a specific way. That is why I just showed what I knew I had and then showed how I solved it. I was able to understand what each equation needed but I think that I may have wrongfully converted in certain parts.
