We finished watching and critiquing the Wevideos today. I'm glad we got over with watching ours yesterday. They we all pretty good. After we finished watching them we had more work time. Natalie worked on the video, and Ashley and i worked on the weebly a little more.
Today was the dead line for the wevideos, which was kind of stressful because it was not done until five minutes before we needed to email it in. However, we were the first group to email it in which felt nice. But since we were the first to email it in, we were the first video to be critiqued in class which was awkward, but we got some good feedback which Natalie is able to work with.
Today we finished working on the playing field. Natalie, Cody, Matthew, Valdemar, and I painted to two pieces of wood. I had to buy the paint last night for it, but that's okay. We painted the base color with black acrylic paint. We had to make sure to tape the starting areas first, though. We borrowed paint brushes from Mr. Joshua. On one the starting area is a dark green, and on the other it's a darkish blue. The green had finished drying by the end of class, but the blue hadn't so we have to wait until tomorrow to take the tape off of it.
We finished cutting and sanding the wood today. We still need paint, for tomorrow, which I think I am going to get.
We started building the playing field today. We found out that we aren't going to be able to have four walls like we originally planned, but we came up with an alternative. We are going to have two pieces of wood that we had already cut to my waist height and paint them like we were going to for the walls. This will take up a lot less of Ms Quinny's wood. Today Natalie was working on the evidence binder, and Ashley was working on the sticker.
We were flying again today. I was flying this time. It was a little rocky at first because he tended to drift off towards the right. Eventually, though I got the hang of it. I was able to make semi-smooth take offs and landings, but not without cracking two of the motor mounts.
Today was the second day with in class access to the weeblys and FAQs. We started off class with updating the FAQ sheet or working on the team websites.
We were flying for the second hour today. It was really fun. Natalie started to figure out how to land towards the end of class. He also may have crash landed on the concrete.
