Week #5

This week we began to brainstorm ideas for our rapid prototyping. Fortunately, we were able to gather some confidential drawings about a similar design from a South African mining company.

While brainstorming we came across many questions:
How we're going to do it?
What section of the full scale are we trying to prototype?
What material are we going to use?

These were answered during this week:
We're going to use a laser cutter from the campus labs.
The column structure/supports.
Cardboard stock sheets primarily.

Also, our presentation about our progress to the class is next week, so more work on the presentation was done. After further reviewing the guidelines, we were missing some important information so we gathered once again later in the week to complete these missing components.
