Summary: This week we focused on finalizing our project by solidifying the connections using metal lock washers and adhesive to prevent the dowels from moving too much. We also focused a good portion of this week on encasing half of our base's exterior utilizing vinyl to coat the base. We wanted to ensure that the skeleton could still be observed from one side to showcase the machine-based and 3D modeling aspect of our project.
Next Week: Showcase!
Monday:
PLTW Step: Construct
Bike frame with vinyl wheels
Neda & Kaitlyn: Work on securing the dowels and the plates in the front portion of the bike help with stability. Also, attach the wheels back to the bike to begin the final assembly
Venice: Work on finalizing the LED system
Tuesday:
PLTW Step: Construct
Showcase trifold in progress
Neda & Kaitlyn: Work on securing the dowels and the plates in the back portion of the bike to ensure stability there. Also work on starting the structure for the back half of the exterior.
