Dylan AM 2/7/20 hydro car 60+ minutes

What was my Goal for today?
  • Install fuel cell
  • Continue on next step of building car

How well did I achieve that?
  • Turns out the white plastic fat connection got hurt somehow
    • We think that some time when we tried to saw the end off

What problems did I face?
  • The connection was destroyed, it didn't fit right
  • We changed out the fuel cell, sanded down the sides, and made sure not to break the connection.
  • It doesn't screw down because screw doesn't sit flush.


What I'm doing next
  • Screwing the fuel cell down
  • Solving the screw length problem

Stephanie - AM - min - HydroCar

Stephanie - AM - min - HydroCar

Worked on
- velcro on ESC
- screw on motor
-sanded fan edges

Problems
- the fan didn't fit on the base, so we sanded the edge off
- the motor wasn't align with the plastic

Plan

- screw on fan

Christopher - AM - 30 mins - TinkerCad and Python

During the beginning of the lab I tried placing the rudder rail through the large hole. After trying for a couple of minutes, it was no use. And because of this, I slightly increased the size of the hole. The other side, however, does fit perfectly. I didn't print the model today.

For the remainder of openlab, I worked on python code. What I was working on was putting all the scripts I created together. Right now there's a primary menu where a person can access the calculators (wage calculator and the normal the calculator). I then added the lucky number game code.

Ultimately, I refined the program to reduce the amount of bugs and errors. The program is now 200 lines long and I plan to expand it.

Michelle - AM - 50 mins - Catching up Labs and Figuring out error

I was catching up on work that I missed on Tuesday since I had to go to a court order. I was able to finish all the labs but I still can't lab #5 working for conditionals. I've tried to change the coding using these website but I always get a syntax error on except line. 


I've tried to break down the problem from seeing any issues from the first line to the end line. From there, I was able to fix or add any code necessary but I still don't understand what the exact error. I've tried to:
1. Define my variables 
2. Make sure that the lines correlate with each other

Dylan AM 2/5 30 minutes hydrocar

What was my Goal for today?
  • Solder battery and motor

How well did I achieve that?
  • Succeeded

What problems did I face?
  • Had to redo the battery a few times
  • Difficult to get the wire to fit in the solder point
