Reflection
Overall, my time at BlueStamp opened my eyes to multiple aspects of engineering I wasn’t privy to beforehand. I realized that engineering is not building things but rather solving the nearly infinite amount of problems that get thrown at you as you’re building it. I also realized that project-wise, mine could have been extremely better if I had realized that I had springs of doom and destruction instead of the ones I intended to order. If I had realized this beforehand, I might have had the correct spring to use and then I may have gotten my project to be more powerful. However, I plan to continue working on this until it works how I want it to.
Final milestone
Third Milestone
Second Milestone
However, I ended up completing the box and will combine my circuit with the casing next milestone. I started this case by first finding the base schematics and then adding my modifications so that it better fit my situation and my motors. After planning out the cut-out, I had an instructor use a jigsaw to cut out the pieces. I then marked all the places I would drill and eventually inserted screws as my connectors. Finally, I had completed my outer casing.
