Thursday 11th- We joined into a group of 6 for our first project "reating an INTERACTIVE DRAWING MACHINE" that must contruct produce 3 drawings, demonstrated in class at 10am Friday 19 and the machine must also respond to input data. light sound touch etc...
Friday 12th - The ideas were what we expected were Creative! haha the challenge was obviously going to be creating the ideas into a concept. We came up with a group concept called Sweeper Spinner .The idea came from the sweeper trucks who sweep rubbish on the footpaths and in town.We knew it was a start and development was well in the mind.
Monday-Slow start. We began to create a stable base for the concept. The purpose of the stable base wasw to build a strong foundation for the main body.This took up alot of time. We then came up with ideas of materials that we would use to connect to the machine. I thought of fire and candles creating a hot melted wax. But the group didnt agree,because it could have burnt the building down. i thought i had to go with the flow with the group. So we thought and thought and so we came up with the idea of the sweeper sweeping paint to the canvas and the top spinner would squirt off paint like a whirlwind. That was going to be our magic art work.
Tuesday 16th- We had another slow start to the day. Some of the group came in late which made us a bit behind. We went to Westfield down in Britomart to get materials. This was the start of the development stage.
Wednesday 17th- We looked at our concept and thought it could be better, the programming was a bit of a problem as we all still felt quite new to it. Wednesday was a day of headaches. We prgrammed our robot and found it was struggling to read the touch sensors. Then we changed the machine to react to sound senor. It didnt go well and time is running out. Some of us are stying up all night for programming and writing up development. Others will have a goodnight sleep.haha
