Problems!

We have worked on the measurements of the desks again. Also we found a problem, the time left to build…. this is because we worked until we perfected the design. This is a problem because we took up a BUNCH of time just planning the layout of the iHelper. This means the we do not think we have enough time to build the iHelper. This maybe the reason this project may go unfinished if we don’t HURRY!! We are also having problems finding track systems, only 2 weeks ago there were a large amount of track systems, now there is 3! 3!!! We may not be able to get track systems! This makes us very unhappy and confused at where all the tracks went! I retook the measurements of the desk to make triple sure that they were right. When we know we will have the time to build then we will all pitch in to help fun the desk. This is what we have done this week and as I promised here is the presentation!

Mock Up

 Today I worked on the final model as you can see, Landon and Will finalized their slide show to be added to mine. What I did was put a model of the track systems and the hight we wanted and taped it down to make a rough model of the desk. We will be adding a video, because the desk actually moves!! We were very impressed that I got it to move side to side. We now need to start buying parts and make a final blueprint so we can begin to put the desk together! This is very important that we have our blueprint down right so there are no mistakes! This is VERY crucial to the building, I will be presenting our slide show on the 21st of November. I will add it to my Blogger, I will also get Will and Landon to add it to theirs also.

Staus Update In Progress

Today I worked on my speaking part of the status update. What I did was added some images and tested how long my part ran, mine ran at 1 minute and 26 seconds. This is the time stamp I needed. I hit the main points of the desk and then there will be detail added by Landon and Will. Next we will be finalizing the slide show and then we will present on November 21st. We have set up the slide show based on the outline, and Landon and Will are typing their parts and soon will combining all of our power points together to make one larger slide show. Also I put some images in the slide show to fill time and to represent what could happen if the iHelper isn’t been used. We also found a quote from Steve Jobs that inspired us to the design we have today, he has always said his product are clean looking, so we will be making the iHelper out of metal so it looks cleaner. 

Update

What we did today was we worked on the mid-update project. This is what we worked on today, be have gotten the basses of the powerpoint. We also worked with the final placements of the track system, we have decided to put the tracks in opposite directions like so

sorry for the rough example…. But this is the "picture" I am going to use! This is how we decided to place the track system so is moved cleanly and with out problems. We also had to think of the cost that we would have to put into the parts. We have also gotten over half way through the presentation! Be ready for the surprise, and I will put the presentation on the blogger for those who would like to know whats happening. This is what we did today in our 20% project today on 11/1/13.
