Weeks 2 and 3


11/14

Every group member was present for this meeting. Our group continued to discuss possible ideas that we would be doing for this project. Four ideas that we came up with were a bubble machine, a Rubik's cube solver, a game, and a remote controlled car going down a racetrack. After further discussion, we have decided that we will be doing a bubble machine. Initial sketches and required materials will be posted in next week's post (see below)

11/21

All group members met today during our lab period. Over the course of this week, we will be gathering our materials and making SolidWorks parts and possible Arduino codes/sketches that will supplement our project.

The (tentative) materials list is as follows:

1) Fan (can be made from SolidWorks)
2) Bubble solution
3) Arduino board
3) SolidWorks parts
4) Container to hold the bubble solution
5) Servo/DC motors
6) Supports
7) Button
8) Sensor

We will hold two more meeting this week on Friday and Saturday. Further details will be provided in our next blog post.

Edit: Tomorrow (11/22), we will be going shopping for some supplies listed above and then start planning on building our apparatus.
