Assembly Line CHALLENGE

The Goal:
  • Mark 6 number cubes
  • Unite with other stations
  • Fast and Efficient
The solution:
  • At first we wanted to have more programming and make it rotate
  • Then instead we just made a "drop-box" design

Achievements accomplished: 14

Class Achievements:
Implementation" - The assembly line made it throw with only a couple of quick fixes. But in the real world that would give people jobs by fixing the machine quickly

"Fast!" - The first trial was 1:07 but then again we only had four dice

"Faster!!" - In the second trial we got the dice to make it in 51 seconds

"No Half Stepping" - We completed ours in about 3 days but it was changed by another group due to not functioning consistently

"Don't Dilly Dally" - Same as "No Half Stepping"

"Stewardship" - We put all of our parts away in the proper place in about a day

 
Team Achievements:
"If you Build It..." - We originally wanted to make the sorter rotate but we came across many obstacles so instead we came up with a well working design and pursued it
 
"Proof is in the Pudding" - Since our station was the last, we only had to worry about the group in front of us. So we planned accordingly and made a solution that made an easy transition between the two stations

"Round and Round We Go" - We noticed that our original design was too heavy on one side and it would take too long to program it, so we came up with a new more proportional solution
 
"No Soliciting" - Since we worked with the group next to us we asked them about our solution. At first it was fine, then near the end of the project they changed it which must have meant something was wrong. They said that it wasn't consistent so they fixed it.

"Leave no Trace" - Everything was cleaned and put away nicely

 
Individual Achievements:
"Keep the Customer in Mind" - I have a couple of paragraphs but they are like bullet point because they are straight to the point

"Nice One!" - Thomas Luppi because he put in helpful information to help make a better solution

"Helping Hand" - Cody Kitchener (spelling) because he help us put his teams solution and our solution together to make a smooth transition
 

P.S. I'm sorry but I do not have any picture due to the fact that Jackson's phone was dead at the time and my phone doesn't have the feature of removing pictures from the memory.
