3/23 Today we wanted to post all of our drawings and pictures of the stearing on the wiki. we were able to post all of our drawings but we are still waiting on some of the pictures of pur stearing. This taught me a lot about uploading pictures on to the internet. 3/19 OUr goal for today was to complete the stearing.for the most part we completed this goal. we were able to put the string through the fins in the back and place the last 2 guides. Next class we will mount the string onto the cam. 3/18 Today me and brandons goal was to complete the stearing. we were only able to place 4 of the 6 guides down and glue them on to the hovercraft. 3/13 Today our goal was to mount the seat and the stearing onto the hovercraft. we were able to acheive this goal. next class we will look to hook up the stearing to the rudders in the back of the hovercraft. we also filled the base of the fan with the foam to make it more stable. 3/11 Today me and Brandon had a goal of mounting the stearingonto the base of the hover craft. we did not acheive this because we were trying to figure out where the seat was going to be. after that we helped to further fasten down the fan onto the back of the hover craft. 3/10 Me and Brandon assembled the stearing to day and now we are just waiting for the other groups to finish the chair and the fan and then we can finish mounting the stearing. We will be using a yellow rope and pipe fittings to move the rudders back and forth. 3/6 Today we had the rowder and bit inorder to cut the notch in the cam. We got that done and then we sanded it to make it look a little better. 3/3 Today we wanted to cut out the notch in the cam but we still didnt have the bit. Instead, me and brandon created a base for the stearing and we thought of ideas for a guide for the stearing wheel. WE have the rouder and stuff fir the next class so we will start working on that. 3/2 Today our goal was to finish the cam. We were able to sand the whole in the middle but we didnt have the rowder bit to cut the notch in the side. After that we thought of ideas on how to mount the handle bars and we thought of using a pin mounted in a piece of wood with some sort of restraint to hold the bars in place. 2/26 Me and Brandon's goal for today was to complete the cam. We cut out the base for the cam and put the whole in the middle. The hole was just a little small so we are going to need to sand it out a little. Next class we will cut the notch in the cam and try to mount the rest of the stearing. 2/25 Today me and Brandon finished the cam. next class we will start putting stuff together providing we bring safety glasses! 2/23 Me and Brandon are still waiting on the other groups so we worked on our chem labs today. 2/13 Our goal for today was todesignthe cam for our hovercraft. After a lot of confusion, me, brandon, and ian were successful in drawing the cam. 2/11 Mt goal for today was to start putting the steering on the hovercraft but me and brandon didnt accomplish it because we are still waiting for other groups to finish their parts. Next class if the other groups still arent done i will start working on the cam with ian. 2/10 Today i didnt have anything to work on for the hovercraft because were waiting for other groups to finish what they're doing so we can work on the stearing. So instead i helped lisa work on her animation for their water energy project. It looked like it turned out really well. 2/6 if finished drawing all of the things that we will need to connect the steering wheel to the fan. also we discussed where we will place the steering wheel. We were thinking that the bar connected to the steering wheel would go under the drivers legs and the steering wheel would also go there. 2/5 Today we were discussin stearing designs. we got the documents tranferred that we needed so that we can complete the drawings for next class. once the base for the hover craft is done and the fan is connected we will be able to start working on our actual stearing system.
