Admir's Evaluation
In Advanced Technology Project, Matt and I were to create a scalextric vehicle. Firstly, Matt and I first designed a GAANT chart in order to have an understanding of what tasks we had to complete before which dates.
After completing the GAANT chart, Matt and I began to research materials that we would need and known scalextric designs. After completing this, Matt was in charge of completing our Weebly whereas I was in charge on creating the scalextric vehicle in Autodesk Inventor.
I began creating the design on Autodesk Inventor, I quickly realised that I would need to plan before hand before creating the design in Inventor.
I imported a chassis from the VC and used this as the base of my vehicle. From there, I did some calculations of where I would need to extrude holes for the individual pieces to fit together.
I designed the side parts of a version Mr Brooks created and imported them into Inventor. I changed the placement of the holes and was finished with that.
I encountered major problems when I first laser cut my design. First was the thickness of the material we used did not adjust itself to the thickness of the CAD designing. This means that design would not fit together. Another problem was the distance between the side parts was too great, therefore the motor would be too short to be held in between the side parts. I redid the CAD design, but I did not measure the material thickness, I assumed it was 2mm but it was 3mm, this would make it impossible to fit the pieces into each other.
I never got around to redoing the design to fit a 3mm material as my computer was reimaged and I lost Autodesk Inventor.
