Inventor Question

My Inventor question is how to make an object be intruded into a plane. Because there is an Extrude button, i thought there would be an Intrude button, but there isnt. So the video showed me the intrude option is within the option list when you click the Extrude button.

FORM FOLLOWS F(x)

My product to improve was the iPhone 6 Plus, from Apple. Apple is known for putting form over function, in every product they make. While Android phones have all the lastest features like QHD displays, IR Blasters, NFC, widgets, removable batteries, and micro SD card expansion to save money. 

My new iPhone design (iPhone 6S+) gives an IR blaster to control your TV; SD card expansion; removable 3220 mAh battery, and a motion sensor. I would also add a 1080p AMOLED display to save energy. 

My product is an everyday object: millions have it. Everyday consumers buy it, but these are better off, and buy it for teh brand, not the functionaltiy, although it is very simple to use (iOS excels at simplicity).

It is built from unibody aluminium. It reminds me of a block of metal, because of its slab shape. 

It could be better through the changes i have implemented, to make it more functional for the price paid. (It starts at $749, whilst the Nexus 6, with more memory, starts at $649). 

Cube Reflection

CUBE REFLECTION

--------------------------------------------------

It is important to model, so that you wont make any mistakes while building/fabricating the product. If you mess up the product, it'll cost time and money to start over, and so employers will fire you for wasting time, or your business will fail.

I like my puzzle because it is hard yet solvable, so it presents a challenge to everyone that tries it, so it is a good product to build.

If I could change one thing about my cube, it would be that it is not perfectly aligned on all sides. Right now, it has uneven sides that make it look ugly, and so its function is spot-on, but its form is off. 

I timed five people: Sasha, Amijot, Andrew, Mom, and Dad. Their times were:

Sasha: 15

Amijot: 12:04

Andrew:14:46

Mom: 17

Dad: 7:21

Here is a histogram:

CUBE PROJECT

____________________

These are the five pieces of my NEW puzzle cube. Below is my cake layer

^This was my final design. I chose it because it was the only one that fit the criteria, with exactly 5 parts, and 4-6 blocks in each part. 

This one, unfortunately, had six parts, even though they interlocked.

This one was okay, but the lone two-block orange in the corner disqualified it.

Here is my multiview sketch.

Here is my partner's puzzle part

Cubes

It is not normally distributed, because there are huge disparities between cube sizes, with many not even being 0.75 inch. 

Sling Machine

This is Ganesh and my fling machine. It blew the cotton ball into two bits, and the farthest bit went 35 inches. It is a pipe cleaner run through a straw, and bent at the ends. There was some foil at the end before. Earlier models could fling the cotton farther, but the materials were weak so the slingshot fell apart.

If I could alter the design, I would first use something other than the pipe cleaner to provide support for the rubber band, because the pipe cleaner bent a lot. If i could, i would just use solid poles and attach them to the desk and forego the straw as a whole. I should also learn how to actually use a slingshot. :D Our team is impeccable, so no change there. I feel other teams sufficiently solved the problem.

Unit Conversion Review

This project was really, REALLY fun. We had so much freedom to do as we pleased and weren't restricted by over-serious attitudes like in other classes. So we had a lot of fun doing this "MLG Theme" with the "XxX" and other stuff. We also learned a lot from the presentations like the video done by Sasha and the "Communist" theme done by Alvin. We memorized unit conversions, formulas, and unit prefixes. We also flashed back to middle school with that horrendous song. This project was DEFINITELY worth it.

Our project would have had more gifs of two frogs, but it made the presentation flicker so much, we would have given some one epilepsy or a seizure in a dark room. I also want to commend Austyn for making the game in one night, and so we were unique, as we actually had a video game. Every other group had a simple verbal game. I regret that we didn't have candy, and none of us thought about it. But again, I loved this project.
