WEEK THREE

This week we need to cover a lot of ground.....
This because:
a) We only have two more sessions together
b) You are all being too anxious and cautious (aside from a few that are working very hard) and are not showing that you are even close to making the aspirational grade that you are working toward.
c) The radio machine must work
d) the project must be fully documented.

So here is what YOU must do for next Monday:

Individually you have to:
build a working mock up / prototype of your machine 1:1 scale.
Make sure that it works everytime
Make it look "ugly"- but very well thought through
Draw it up in CAD / solid works (all parts separately) and email it to me as a DXF / slpt file
Post all of your work as you do it on the blog
Ask eachother for feedback
Give feedback
Have every detail worked out and ready for production

Mechanical Engineers:
You have to have the table / engine designed (I have a better idea - and will post it tomorrow)
You have to make a date to fabricate it as a team

Electrical engineers:
Shannon you are incharge of the transmitter etc
Rohan you are the roadie - Your job it to trouble shoot microphone design and construction

Odd Jobs / Installation people:
You have a lot to do:
1. You have to document the project - photos, video, reflections etc on the blog
2. You have to co-ordinate publicity - design and distribute Flyers / posters
3. You need to organise a Live Web cast of the radio machine in action
4. you need to put together a schematic / system diagram of the how and why of radio machine

Scavengers:
You need to scrounge:
1. Copper electrical wire
2. Lots of thick rubber bands (all sizes)
3. Source some good lubricant for timber to timber lubrication (soap)
4. find old rusty nuts and bolts
5. any materials that you think will come in handy

Anti musicians:
You need to keep it all noisy, annoying, visually uncomfortable - you are the "artistic directors" - be demanding, make suggestions - nake sure that everyone is doing their part of the deal.
