The Team Blogs

The UML course 22.201 - Mechanical Design Lab I combines elements of solid modeling, rapid prototyping and physical computing. During the final third of the semester, student teams are formed and the students are given the following task:

As a team of 3 to 4 students design a mechanism that can be animated and controlled via an Arduino based interface. The mechanism should include some parts that have been designed to be fabricated using a 3D printer and other parts that have been designed to be laser cut. The mechanism can include other components that are purchased or fabricated out of other types of material such as cardboard, foamcore, wooden dowels, string, wire, rubberbands, etc... 

The student teams are asked to document the design/build/test phases of their project using a blog format. The goal of this task is to familiarize students with the process of project documentation which is an essential part of any engineering project.
