Assembly Challenge!

I earned Seven (Eight could be Debatable) Achievements:

Assembly Block One:

Assembly Block Two:

Assembly Block Three:

Assembly Block Four:

Assembly Block Five:










Give Help:  Ezequiel Asked me for help on the Constraints, along with flushing.  He can testify that I helped hiim.

Ask for Help:  I asked Mr. Olson, for information about Flushing, and Constraints.  At the time, I didn't quite understand the purpose of Flushing, so I was trying to do everything with constraints.  After awhile, my constraints got to the point, when no block could even constrain another.

I'm the Assembly Master! (Debatable):  I didn't quite finish this.  It is the first half of the tower (or what's left of it).

Brick By Brick Challenge

Here are my bricks that I have done:

Achievements Earned: Seven (Six Bricks, One Help)

Regular Brick:

This brick was made by taking the general Rectangle, and extruding it up.

T-Bone Brick:

This Brick was made using the line tool.  With a base of 1", I extended a 135 degree angle with .25", another 135 degree angle, and a 1" line.  Same process is repeated on the opposite side, and a 1" line connects the two blocks.

Axe Head Brick:

This brick was origionally a rectangle, with an arch attatched to one side.  I took the degree angle, and reversed it on the long sides.  The result is an axe head tesselation brick.

"Tri Head" Brick:

Starting at the origin, I made a 1" circle, and 60 degree angles extending from the origin.  With "Spokes" on the wheel, I "cut" archs out on three sides, with a result of a triangular brick, with the corners cut off.

MC Escher Brick:

The name says it all.  Increadibly hard, and I don't know how people were able to actually succeed in tesselating his work.  I did the best that I could, although the extrusion tool wasn't working properly.

Create-a-Brick:
This was a triangular brick, which will act as a corner for bricks.  As alot of yards are uneven, and the tesselations will eventually end somewhere. 



Achievement:  Giving Help:

Ezequiel asked me for help, and asked on how to make the curves (Archs).  I told him, to use the curb tool (Next to the line), to link the two points.  Ezequiel can Testify, that I helped him.

My First Blog Post!

Hello, I am Daniel, from MR. Olson's 6th period Engineering Class.  For several years, I have been fascinated on engineering, as a whole, and as an art.  Wondering how things work, how one thing leads to another, and most importantly, how things work.  I decided to begin a career in Engineering, so that I may express my interest in Engineering.

Cogwheels, generally one of the first things that
a lot of people think of, the stereotypical engineering
feature.  Since the middle ages, many engineering
 accomplishments have their roots from Cogwheels,
 such as the infamous Clockwork.
