3/17


Today we started to fix our pulley and we tested our machine out. We need to fix our tube, but otherwise we are practically done. Now we just have to bring bread to test everything out. Our bread sits on some nails and we hit a wedge with a car off  a ramp and it cuts the bread.

Today my group really started to work and we had our first test. We now have to fix our pulley and our tube down. We need to figure out a way to get the car down it. Our pulley we are not sure what to do with it yet, but next time we will figure it out. most of our machine is made of track and things rolling, but when we start we have to figure out a way to do it.

3/11


We tried to cut our bread toda, but we couldn't figure out  a way to get the marble all the way down and around to get our wedge. We have a lot of work to do, and sometimes it seems like my partners do nothing to contribute to the group. Most of the time the work and ideas come from me it seems, calub kinda plays around, Dylan he does work but doesn't contribute ideas. We need to have a major work day right now itt seems.

3/7


Today we added a place for where we are going to store/cut our bread. Now all we need to do is add details, testing and a screw. our machine will be started by a marble hitting our pulley and we end by cutting bread.

No picture today, but we finished our pulley. We have also added a place for our bread to be cut in half. Now we just need to finish our wedge and add in a screw in any way possible. We hope to be done and start decorating soon.We are trying to figure out whether we want spray paint or tape.

Today we added a pulley to our machine and we are adding a screw soon. We plan to have a giant wedge cut our bread after it is knocked over by a car. We still need to add a wheel and axle, an inclined plane, we have a lever, and we need a wedge. My group hopes to be done with the machines and start testing soon. Our pulley could use some tweaking as well.

Today we added a lever and an inclined plane. we hope to add a pulley soon and a screw. As you can see in the picture we started to duct tape it to add design. We now are figuring out what to do to add extra color to it.
