Mock-Up

Today we worked on the Mock-Up of the Smart Desk, what we did is took cardboard and then we taped up a rough rough rough mock-up. We will have to start buying the pieces soon, then we will slowly put together the desk. We think it will be made of wood, and metal, we are not completely sure though. We have decided that the clip on desk will move left,right,forward, and backwards. This will be a very rough mock-up that we will later make the cleaner version of the mock-up then will come a prototype then a real version, we have added some newish features to the desk, thanks to my sister and her friends. This was the height, and the cable holder along with the forward and backward motion. We will soon make it look clean and neat and will closely resemble the final desk.

Today we worked out with the demintions of the desk. What I did was work with the track system that rolls across the desk. How I did this is by taking to track systems and setting one fully open and then taking the other track system and place next to the open track and kept this close. When you move the desk back and forth one closes and the other one opens, so now it is stable and will be better opening and closing. We figured out that we will have to play with the track system that pulls it closer or further to you. We have worked out all of the demintions of the desk and placement. If you will look at Landon S. and Will C. they will have snapshots of some of the demintions of the desk. Next week we will make a full layout of the desk and play with some placements.

Track System

Today in class we worked with the set up of our track system. We worked with how high we placed the track system, this took a little bit, but we have finally worked all on of the kinks out of our track system. We still have to work on the platform that holds up the laptop. We have the idea to be able to turn the laptop platform so it can be seen from all angels that a student can move the laptop to see it. All we have to work on now is the platform and the part that holds up the laptop, we have to get the tubes that will let the laptop spin , this is almost one larger tube into a larger tube and then it will spin in the tube. The track system will work if you don’t overload the system, but ours won’t be overloaded.
