Today was the final day of making the car. We had to have it assembled and we had to make a video presentation of it. I made the presentation pretty easily because I didn't have to assemble the car again.

Today I worked on adding all of the connectors to my parts that I had made. I had to adjust the size of my engine because it was to big to fit on the car. It was hard to add all of the connectors to where they could fit perfectly in the car as well. The parts are the steering wheel, the cover on the back, the holder for the cover on the back, the wheel, the seats, the engine, and the front gears.
Today I edited my tire and built the front parts of my car. I had to make the wheel bigger so that it would fit. I had trouble with the front of the car because I needed to make holes in it. I also needed another part so i made a different part of the front separate.
Today I worked on the back of the car and the wheel. I worked out the measurements on the steering wheel and made it round. I had to make the top of the back of the car and had to shell it out.
Today I worked on building the windshield of the car. It was pretty easy because it was just a rectangle. I didn't get very much done today, but I am going to make up for that tomorrow.
Today I estimated dimensions and built the wheel of the car. I added the grips, the screws, and made the hole for the axle. The hardest part was making the grips opposite of each other on the sides of the wheel.
Today I worked on trying to make the sketch of the car in Autodesk Inventor. I got the outline done with the car, but me and Alex had to change the scale factor of the dilation. We found that if we made the scale factor 25, it would be too small. We decided on the scale factor of 18, making my vehicle the size that is needed. I don't have much done in Autodesk though, I have only made the length and height so far.
Today we worked on doing research and sketching the vehicle. I am going to do a jeep from the was that was used to transport soldiers to battle. Down below are the sketches and the idea that we came up with to research and make. I did not finish my sketches, I still need to sketch the back and the front of the vehicle.Today I discussed with Alex, who was at iLEAD, about what we were doing for the project. I gave a few ideas for what we could do, but we then decided on WW2. It was difficult for me to discuss with Seth and Alex though because I was at Henry County Middle School recruiting people.
