Project X-Zip ties solve everything!!

Project X

Project X- What was the Most Important Thing?

Today we attached the motor. we planed the where the seat will go the battery will go and where the pegs will go, our welder wasn't here so we were unable to follow through with the pegs but that shouldn't take long and neither should the seat. We have zip ties in the area to hold the things we want to do in place.

What Steps Did We Solve:

attached motor, made plan for seat, made plan for pegs for feet, were able to sit on it

Next Steps:

1. weld rear frame to front frame- complete
2. Look for back wheels to drift- COMPLETE
3. Plan motor and wheel  frame? - Complete-
4. mount motor - Complete
5. attach seat - Pending
6. add pegs for feet -Pending

Project X - mounting the motor

Project X- What was the Most Important Thing?

Today we took apart a chair to make a seat, ground down the bracket to put brass fitting into it to attempt to attach the motor but there was a complication so we need to work on that.

4. mount motor - Pending
5. attach seat
6. add pegs for feet

Couch Potato - We Finally Have a (Small) Frame

Couch Potato - We Finally Have A (Small) Frame

Now we need to make something bigger

After waiting a while, we finally got our frame finished by the welding crew, which is definitely

a step in the right direction. Unfortunately, the frame came out a bit smaller than we were

expecting, so we went back to the welding crew requesting improvements. While they work

on those, we await our couch from Mr. Burnham, as well as some bigger wheels for the front

of the frame, supporting our motors.

What Steps Did We Solve:

1. Test Motors - Done - We have tested our motors, and they function correctly.
2. Test Motor Controller - Done - We have tested our motor controller, and it functions correctly.
3. Plan Frame - Done - We have designed a versatile frame for our couch, and visited the Welding class.
4. Moving Care with Joystick - Done - We have figured out how to move the car with our joystick code.
5. Finishing Touches on Frame Planning - Done - Our frame is ready, and is being built.
6. Cleaning the Wheels - Done - The wheels are as clean as we can get them with what we had.
7. Testing Motor Control with Joystick and Coding - Done -  We need to use our coding and a joystick to check how the joystick controls the motor, and how will it steer.

1. Build Frame - In Progress - Our frame is currently being built by the welding crew.

Couch Potato - Putting the Project on Halt

Couch Potato - Putting the Project on Halt

We are waiting on the Main Components

The Couch Potato project has come to a halt. Unfortunately, the welding crew has not started making
our frame; they apparently had forgotten. We have visited them once more, and today they said that
they would get going on it. Their estimated date of completion is, at most, two weeks. Mr. Burnham
has also stated that he will not find us a couch until we have a frame. With most, if not all, of the
little things done, we have nothing more to do for the Couch Potato project.

Project X - skirt Skirt

Project X- Mounting the motor and Planning the seat

Project X- What was the Most Important Thing?

Today we made new plans for mounting the motor. We added the a new plate that we will weld on when we get back then bolt the motor to that. We also set up a plan for the seat and are getting ready to tell the weld team our plans for that

Couch Potato - Waiting on the Couch and Frame

Couch Potato - Waiting on the Couch and Frame

Everything is Ready Except the Big Pieces

With coding more or less complete, we are really just waiting on our frame and couch for the final tests.
Our frame is due to be delivered sometime next week, courtesy of the welding class. Our couch is still
MIA, and we await its arrival, whenever that may be. As for the wheels, since we do not really have
proper cleaning supplies, they won't be getting any cleaner than they are now, which is not saying
much. If that greasy substance becomes a problem, we will have to find another way to clean them.
