Remarks
06/13/2023 at 11:01 • 0 commentsImprovements we want:
- find a better solution for the whale tale:
- internal or external skeleton
- more flexible material
- better rope, because nylon is not the best, and the one we tried before was worse
- make better support to hold the gears
dig holes in the egg, for sticks to go through the whole egg and hold the gears in place
- get a better grip on the motors: choose the best type, most efficient connection in the channels, for a better experience with the remote controller
- balance the weight of the engine
- make it more **pretty**, because aesthetics you know
Issues we met:
- the busy printing machines
- the headache to figure out how to slow down the speed of the servo for the whale
- the constant redoing of the gears
- the 2 back wheels going in different directions
- find a structure for the gears
- articulation of the tail
- the imbalance of the weight
- the mixing of the cables inside

Session 5
06/12/2023 at 11:13 • 0 comments- final prints
- assemble
- adjust
-
Session 4
06/12/2023 at 11:11 • 0 comments- print test the gears
- 3D model for the main egg structure
- 3D model for the tail
- improve the gear system to have a kinda more natural movement for the tail
- figure out how to connect the gears and the wheels
- End of session: print egg and tail and gears

Session 3
06/12/2023 at 11:01 • 0 comments- figure out a way to connect the wheel's movement to the desired tail's movement
The tail moves along the rotation speed of the wheels, but we don't want the up-and-down movement of the tail to be too fast.
So we needed to find a way to reduce the speed when the motion reaches the tail.
solution 1
- simulation of a gear system knowing that the initial movement is 100rpm and we want the output to be 10 rpm
- install gear extension on Fusion 360 and start the 3D model to print the gears

Session 2
06/12/2023 at 10:43 • 0 comments- came up with an idea
- try to find a way to connect the movements
- understand how to plug the servo motors to make the wheels spin the right way
