Due dates

The Cube needs to be finished on Thursday!

Make sure that you are getting ready to write your walkthrough!

You will need to have each step documented with pictures, isometric drawings of the pieces after each glue session, and you should have a plan for how it will all come together so you can look to see if you did anything differently than you had expected.

You should have the cube finished by Wednesday, you should have data on how long it took people to put it together as well as scores from other groups on

• The level of difficult
• The quality of of craftsmanship
• economy,
  
• aesthetic,
  
• and function

Once you have finished your cube, you will need to create it in Autodesk Inventor in a 3d model. You will animate the pieces and create a video of the cube being put together as an assembly .

The last assignment is the Walkthrough.

This is just like the video game unit walkthrough.
