The first day we made in-depth sketches of what we want our project to look and to determine how it will function. We also figured out the materials we need to make our first model.  For our project, we are 3D printing everything. In Fusion, I made the leaves for our venus fly trap, the ball we are going to be shooting, and the pipe the ball is going through which eventually will shoot out towards the user. I have been working on mechanics which means working on making the things that make the leaves open and close. With the help of Ryan, we have figured out on how our project is going to look and function. These past two weeks have been the most productive weeks we have ever had. In the next class we worked on planning how the project is going to look and function. We decided to paint everything green to look authentic and realistic. We were waiting on our main part to arrive, which was the body. The body we ordered consisted of a duct hose that was  easily bendable. Now that we have the duct hose we can finally finish our project.  This week has been very productive. We received our duct hose and determined the perfect size for the pipe. We made a laser cut platform for the Arduino and the servos.  Next class the goal is to put the project together and make the mechanism that will move the leaves.  We are hoping to be putting the finishing touches on everything very soon.
