Lesson 9

Today in lesson 9 i put together my grey and red wires. I had to cute a table and a half length of all the colours (one grey and 2 red). Then after cutting you chopped the plastic rubber end off a little bit off the ends of all the wires and i had to make sure that i twisted the wire once the rubber was cut off. i had some trouble because people told me to only chop the little rubber thing of the wires on one end only! so it was a bit annoying to have to go back to do that but after i did it was all good. after that Mr Andrews showed us (the ones who have done the wire) to use the heating thing, whoops i forgot the name! and i will use that next lesson i go :)

Lesson 8

This lesson in Design Futures I glued on my motors and batterys on my remote control with a glue gun. The glue gun takes forever to heat up though so I was standing around for a bit. But first before I stuck on my motors jazmin showed me how to do it and I had to make sure that the gold bits were facing up but once she showed me how to do one I did the other :) but with the battery on the remote I knew I could do this easily :) I finished early so I went into the next room and did my blog, which is this one! Haha this fun was very fun :)

Lesson 7

This lesson in Design Futures I glued my wheels on. I was very scared to put the glue on because number one I haven't ever glued and I was scared it was going to burn me! And second of all I didn't want to place my axels and wheels on the wrong way and it stays and glues on and I can't move it! Thankfully it went all good and it turned out perfect! :)

Lesson 6

Today in design futures We didn't have a practicle lesson :( We had to work on our assignment and blogs because Mr. Andrews was away we had Mr. Ward instead. I was working on my assignment with Resistant Materials 2 to help with the table for component, materials, properties and other uses. I managed to get most of it done with the time I had. :)

Lesson 5

Today i got to put buttons on my control!!!! it looks so cool now and i was pretending to play with it with my friends even though its not connected or anything ahha. this was a fun lesson but i admit i didn't do much except that :)

Lesson 4

Today i melted my controller and bent it so it looks like a real controller! and it does! it was really fun as you left it on the strip heater and then when it looked ready and was on there for a good amount of time you had to quickly bend it and run over to the tap to cool it off for it to stay there. After i did the two sides i had to sand one side because it was longer then the other but its all good and perfect now :)

Lesson 3

today i got to do my second holes in my car with mr. andrews (i did them all wonky) and because i was ahead of others i had to just help them get on track and do there holes and cutting out stuff.

Lesson 2

this week i had to use the hand drill to cut my remote holes for the buttons! After I finished that Mr. Andrews helped me cut the lines in my car so the wheels could go on. that was very scary! i only had time to do one side though cause the bell went :(

Lesson 1

Today I continued on cutting, sanding and making holes in our body's and handles. The most difficult part for me was the sanding as i was scared of slipping and hurting myself! i really enjoyed putting the holes in both the body and the handle even though i used different things to do this for both. This was a really fun lesson :)
