Thesis Statement

I will create a rover that will be able to travel across very uneven terrain, which will relate to the book Star Splitter.

Initial Sketch

Day 1:

Today, I continued to work on and finished the brainstorming worksheet and sent an email to the CCI to order some parts that I need for my project. The project that I want to create is a remote-controlled buggy, which is why I need motors, an IR receiver & remote, wheels, and batteries for the remote.

Day 2:

Today, I started modeling the robot in Onshape. I started by finding some of the parts I ordered and imported them. Then, I started to model the main body of the robot. Tomorrow, I will try to model the suspension mechanism.

Day 3:

Today, I worked on the suspension mechanism on Onshape. I chose to use a Bogie-Bogie suspension system because it allows a vehicle to traverse very tough terrain.

What I am trying to make is a realistic hammer and shield that are the two items of thor that are said to be the only things that can end Ragnarok.

Sketch

On the first day I Gathered my materials and thaught about what I would do

On the second day I made my first prototype. I made it out of cardboard and put a hole on the bottom of the hammer for LEDs

On the third day I added a wheel and made some lines so when it spins it looks cool and added a button and a motor to turn it on. I also made a door to see the inside. (The button is the green dot)

Button

I made A laser cut for thors hammer file with SVG on the fourth day (grandparents day)

(did not use)

I made a laser cut file for both halfs of the shield and Made an x on the shield for design on the fifth day and added a bit of yarn on

I made a pad on the 3d printer for the inside of the shield on the sixth day out of tpu filament

TPU filament is a filament primarily made from thermoplastic polyurethane

On the seventh day, I hot-glued the two parts of the shield together, and I added yarn so it would look medieval. I also made an adjustable strap for your hand and put Thor's face on the shield. I also put a pad that was 3d printed so you do not get splinters. And sanded down the PVC pipe so much it feels like fabric

3d printed

On the eighth day I added yarn on the handle to look medieval and made a strap so you can carry it. I it looks cooler healso put some more dots on the wood so it looks cooler when it spins and substituted the old motor for a stronger one So it spins faster

On the ninth day I added some design to the shield and used a higher quality string

Norse symbol

On the tenth day I added a wight so it could stay on one side and I also sanded down the edges

on the eleventh day I made stands for each artifact for fessy con

Day 3

Day 4( today I made the straps and but trash bags inside of the bottles as oil

Day 5( today I made a label and made the flames but I did not attach them yet)

Day6 ( today I glued the flames on yesterday they were taped on)

Day7(Today I got a GIF of me flying)

Day 8( today I got final pictures and it did not fit into one picture so I took two

Thesis

I am making a necklace with a hunk of loralite attached, which is the most valuable and rare thing in the series I am reading.

Final Project Photo

For this project, I am making a replica crossbow and coding an Arduino. I am making a crossbow because it represents the crossbow used for betrayal in my book. I will code the Arduino to play a sound from the audiobook that plays a section of the book where a character, Will, betrays them.
