Puzzle Cube Challenge

This is the answer to my puzzle

This was a great project that was very fun and had a lout of hands on interaction that was very insperational.

How many individual puzzle pieces are possible for 3, 4, 5 and 6 cubes?

I got a total of about 3combos for 3 blocks
and for 4 blocks I got abot I think 7 or so combos
and for 5 blocks I got about 24 combos
and for 6 blocks I got alout 30 somethings combos



2) 2 or More Puzzle Cube Solutions
• Use your 27 cubes and tape to model at least two possible cube solutions.
• Solutions must adhere to our Criteria and Constraints.
• Record the puzzle pieces for each of your solutions on isometric paper.
• Use the shading techniques we've learned for isometric drawings.
• Choose a solution and specify why you selected it.

3) Build Your Cube
• Use Elmer's glue to glue up the pieces of your chosen solution.
• Color each piece of your cube a distinct color using our class crayons.

4) Step By Step Instructions
• Using isometric paper, create step by step instructions that shows how to solve your cube.
• Each step must show the assembly from the previous step and how the next piece fits in with them ("x+y=z").
• Use the shading techniques we've learned for isometric drawings.

5) CAD Modelling
• Create an assembly of each of your pieces in Inventor.
• Create an assembly of your entire cube in Inventor.
• Create Multiview drawings of each of your pieces in Inventor.
• Create an explosion of your cube assembly in an Inventor Presentation (.ipn) file.
• Animate your explosoion. Make sure you sequence the movement of your pieces so that they don't overlap each other while in motion.
• Record your animation and post the video to your blog.Draw as many as you can with a 1:1 ratio of squares to cubes on isometric graph paper.

My First Blog Post

Hello all this is my first blog post

I play lacrosse becuase its a great sport. and its really fun.
I think it is the best sport ever and that waterpolo sucks.

Cardboard Canoe Challenge!

I earned 11 achevements

Design Achievements
Here are the design based Achievements that we earned:

• Define the Problem and Brainstorm Solutions
State the problem you are designing a solution for. List at least 20 ideas you have regarding your solution.

The problem we were solving was to get into the pool and not sink

-displace a lot of water
-arodinamic
-go to albertsons and get cardbord
-make a kyayk shape
-axsesories
-several layers of cardbord
-a sail
-a fan
-a paddle
-steam power
- fly over the pool
-cardbord raft
-have an inflatabel portion
-make a surfbord
-wide
-skinny
-shallo
-tall walls

Criteria & Constraints
List or reference the specified Criteria and Constraints you're designing for. List at least one implied criteria. List at least three implied contsraints.
-The boat must only be made of cardbord and ducktape
-It must sit at least one person and be able to suport their weight
-Our boat was made to float a small person
-The boat must have side walls

Sketch Ideas
Draw 3 different sketches for possible designs. Label at least 3 key features for each sketch. Describe the feature's functionality so a viewer understands why the called out feature is important.

Prototype Ideas
Craft physical prototypes (models) of each of your three sketches. Use a notecard or post it note to call out at least one key feature on each model. Post the images to your blog and describe the key feature that you've pointed out on each.

We had them but they were not on the computers when we opend them up again.

Select an Approach
Generate feedback (+, change, ?, !) and make a decision matrix regarding your sketches/prototypes. Specify the approach you've chosen and justify your selection.

-we will probrally not be doing the roling desie becuase it would take two much tape and two much time to construct and will probrally flood the second we put it into the watter
-the triangle desine looks like a good idea but it may be hard to cut out the curved ends exactly corect to eachother
-I'm not shure where we got the idea for the roling one from but it looks like it could maby be good with a lought of revition


Build It!
Build your watercraft. Document it with a presentable photo.

This is the inside of our boat and it has a nice little seat

This is a side view of our boat and it has one centerboard

 and two fins that stick out of the sides

This is a back view of our boat and again it has a long centerboard

 and two smaller fins on the sides

The Early Bird Gets the Achievement
Awarded to the team with the fastest build.

We were the first team to finish our boat.


V-Bottom 
Earn this by building a non-flat bottom
Our boat did not have a flat bottem because it had fins

How Low Did You Go?
How low in the water did your canoe sit (roughly)? Was it suprising how little your boat went down in the water? What is the unit weight of water in pounds? How much did your pilot weigh (roughly)? Use math to help explain the depth that your boat sat in the water.
It was suprising how short our boat stayed in the water because right wen we got into the water it fliped and colapsed

Redesign
If we were to do another Carboard Canoe race next semester, what would you build? Draw from everything you experienced in your class and propose the most competative solution. Include a sketch with key features and dimensions labeled.

I would tape each peace of cardbord individualy and make the tape neat
The desine of the boat would be wide so that it would not capsise like ours did right wen we put it into the water

(Make Your Own Achievement)
Make an achievement of your own design that you can award yourself for something awesome your team did. (Example "Transformer" - although our canoe sunk, our team was able to convert it into a surfboard style design and continue competeting!)
Our achevement would be The First Boat to sink and we won this one hands down
