Attendance
NIVAN -
MONDAY - NO SCHOOL
TUESDAY - Worked on physical assembly. Acquired new power supply to try out. With technical difficulties occurring with my laptop at home I wasn't able to test components or code anything leading to delays with project progress.
WEDNESDAY - Worked on physical assembly
THURSDAY - Was at a school career presentation
FRIDAY - Was able to get the motors to operate on one of the laptops. Claimed that laptop for the personal use of the group.

JULIO -
MONDAY - NO SCHOOL
TUESDAY - Looked into alternative avenues that could be used for programming and accessing libraries.
WEDNESDAY - Worked on physical assemblies
THURSDAY - Looked at different avenues to try and upload the code for the motors. Using the school laptops could be a possibility.
FRIDAY - Looked at possible solutions for what could be done when creating the app for the project.
Secondary power supply that will be used for the project.
The acquisition of a second power supply fall under the Developing Solutions learning target within the engineering process as we took the resources we had acess to to find alternative methods to try and solve the problems we were having with testing the motors.

After several trials runs where we tested different skematics and power supplys we were finally able to turn on he motor and see it functioning properly. This helped reassure us of the quality of the main component for our project. Additionally, it marks an important step in the Construction and Testing phase of the engineering learning process.
Goals for Week 9:
Continue to work on physical assembly
Work on blue tooth and voice control connections
Work on the development of app for final project
Optional: Paint components to have matching color scheme
With the delays we experienced this week our goals remain relatively the same. These goals are to be worked on throughout the entire week and all team members must cooperate in order to fulfill them as no one team member is responsible for the fulfillment of this project.
Goals for Week 10:
Continue working on App
Test Voice Control
Work on physical assembly
Optional: Paint components to have matching color scheme
