Project X blog post #5

We are nearing the end of our project even though we still have plenty of things on our list of things to finish. We need to finish putting all of our images on the Ipad. That step takes a lot of time because the images that we put in our Ipads need to be trace over and they are our complete and final drafts so they have to be absolutely perfect. Our website is finished and all we need is to add the images in the end and that will be done and last week we finished all of our final sketches and they are ready to be put in the Ipad. I hope that our book ends well and that people will be able to benefit from our pages.

We are doing great we have finished the format of our website and we will soon add all of the pages to the website as soon as we finish editing our drafts and digitizing them. I was working on making the pages more detailed while my partner made the website it worked perfectly since my partner likes to use the computers to make websites and I like to draw. As soon as she finished with the web site she started helping me with the drafts since we are a bit behind schedule. But overall I think we are doing great.

TEAM X Status Report #4

We already finished our final lander and today was the day of our drop. We were feeling confident in the beginning of the class and we had already started to put our lander back together for the final time ,to make sure that all the strings where in the correct place. We went out to the stairs and my teammates said that I should be the one to drop our egg, so I went up and got ready to drop ours. The time came to drop our egg and it survived. The lander bounced slightly but the straws absorbed the shock. We were very worried of the lander accidentally tipping to the side because we had one section of the straws where the edge was sort of out and it was too late for us to fix it. Then we dropped it from the rotunda and also survives the second drop, but it was far from the target but luckily it survived. In conclusion our project has been a great success and a lot of fun, we also learned a lot about the engineering process.

We have been doing great so far and we are going on a good pace but we still have quite a few thing to finish until we are completely done with this project. We have completed the portfolio part of our website and the we are almost done with the front page of the website. We already completed our introduction and our drafts for the drawings and in the next couple weeks we are going to finish digitizing our drafts in the next week. After that we are going to publish our website and make a copy for the library. I think that our project is going smoothly so far.
