Here I have used Inventor 2015 and made a passenger base for a automoblox model. It is a 3D piece that has 4 basic hole shapes made inside of it so that you can place 4 matching figures into it. This was quite hard at first, but after getting all the measurements from the sketch given, it became easier to do. Unfortunately, I was only able to do the rectangle, circle, and triangle. I was able to do the star, but I had run out of time at the end.

How to make a cone in inventor?

I also learned how to make a sphere as my partner showed me how to do so after watching this video:

Form Follows Function

1. Describe: Describe what you intended—colors, size shapes.

         I had the idea of creating a push and pull door. This door is the standard size door, built for easy access to stores. It is also very secure as many doors aren't very strong against threats

1. Analyze: Try to describe the process for how it is made.

        The door frame would be made of titanium for maximum strength. The center piece for the door would be made of bulletproof glass which would be strong and secure. The door would be attached to a large rotating column, much like the one in revolving doors. This would be made of metal alloy. 

1. Apply: Describe the ways it meets the project requirement

      We were to find and everyday object that we would want to make more efficient that isn't exactly following form follows function, which in other words, means that when designing a product, the product should be efficient and then you can make tweaks on it that makes it look better. The store door doesn't exactly follow this as most doors are made to look good and they arent easy to open and close sometimes as it can either be a push or pull door. Some sliding doors break down and arent very strong. This concept has both strength and ease to open.

1. Associate: What does it remind you of?

        This door is most like a revolving door. This has similar properties, but it is more techy than a revolving door.

1. Compare: To what is it similar? In what way is it unique?

This is similar to a revolving door and it has many of the push properties of a old saloon door. It has increased security, control locking, and ease of use.

1. Arguments: Take a stand, have an opinion. How could it be better

It could be made better by adding a sensor for detecting when a robber is approaching. No matter what the locking mode is, auto lock will occur and the robber will be stopped from opening the door.

Puzzle Cube Reflection

Why is it important to model an idea before making a final prototype?
  The reason for making a prototype of a product is to be able to find and fix any mistakes or flaws with your design. To be able to fix your design is a key design and problem solving step that everyone must follow when coming up with a design or idea.

What is one thing you love about your puzzle?
  I really like the fact that there are many blocks that look like they would be fitting into the other block holder piece, but in reality they do not fit in the puzzle to make the 3X3 cube that is to be made.

What would you like to change about your puzzle if you could?
  I'd want to be able to sand the puzzle a bit more and be able to confuse others easier than before. If this was possible, it would be close to impossible to solve as already, some people werent able to solve it in the given time. The ones who did received a hint in the last minute of the 15 minutes.

Cube Puzzle

We're making a puzzle using blocks to form a 3x3 block cube.

Here are the drawings that I've done on 2 designs that I've came up with.

The first two shown are "cake layers" in which shown are layers of the puzzle in a less layered layout than the actual puzzle. The pieces are separated out. 5 different colors are used in each drawing. 

At the very bottom, I've posted an isometric sketch of all the puzzle parts.

I chose this design over the other design due to the fact that this puzzle would be more able to fit the time requirements that was required for someone else to solve this puzzle. It wouldnt take as long as the other design that I had come up with.

Fling Machine

Our data that we collected is very astonishing as it isn't very precise. There is no target distance so we cannot determine whether or not it is accurate.
Our Fling Machine was strong, yet it became extremely unreliable. This was due to the fact that it was not very stable and the rubber band launching is unstable in just your hands.

The data that we collected is not very consistent. It varies and isn't precise at all. Precision should be our goal to improve as the more precise your data is, the chance that it'll fail in the real situation would severely decrease. If more time was given and we had the correct materials, we'd be able to increase reliability and increase our distance quite easily. Our Fling machine was just a simple piece of rubber band and the cotton ball to launch. I had brought some materials but, they proved to be useless without the other materials that we were supposed to bring to class.
