Automoblox Improvement Preject
Intro
Reverse Engineering is the process of taking something apart to learn how to make more of it. when me and my partner first sat down to talk about ideas of what to make we honestly didn't know what we were going to modify/add onto the truck. we came up with many possibilities like a metal car or a more streamline truck body. we eventually settled with a golden spoiler glued on and square wheels.
Summarize
The Three Reverse engineering steps are Visual, where you look at the object and take as many notes as possible before you start to do the functional analysis, Functional, where you see what it does and how it works, and structural analysis, where you take it apart to learn even more about it and then put it back together again.
Define a Problem
Me and my partner talked and communicated through Instagram where we sent each other pictures and ideas.
Generate Concepts
Toilet on the bed of the truck, metal truck frame, sled wheels, monster truck tires, all gold truck, and rocket boosters.
Develop a solution
Construct and test a prototype
Evaluate the solution
When I showed my mom a picture of my project she said that it looked ugly and told me that no child would ever want it. and she said that the gold spoiler was going to make it way to expensive.
Present the solution
My group's team work was ok but not great. We hardly ever communicated and that is probably why the project got finished so late. we had a good design idea though. it was comical and had a good purpose, even though we got some criticism from the people we showed it to. We could only use inventor on my partner's school account because my T9 truck assembly file reverted to a save where it wasn't assembled. so I had to have my partner log in on two computers when we both had to work on inventor.

After
i: how can it be changed enough where it counts as a modification and how can you change it to make it more effective.
ii: so that if the idea you choose doesn't work out then you can just look back at your second best idea.
iii: so that you can have a point of reference if you suddenly get amnesia.
