Engineering Project 2014 - Do NOT post images of exam material

I would say, try and borrow a portfolio some1 in your school who did well last year, and just copy their layout and try and get close enough page length

anyone know if using a brushless motor and ESC, along with a reviver for radio control , if this would go against the brief and result in my project not getting full marks?

"The use of modified toys or model kits is not acceptable" I'm not sure whether you'll be docked a lot though.. Did you ask your teacher?

voodosheeb · 03-02-2014 12:11am

yeah, not to sure tho , said it might help to show how could incorporate it into the design. either way when i get it back to keep it im putting rc in it, but the motors in the engineering room are **** on 9 voltz and thats one of the main reasons i wanted rc

can anyone who did the project last year upload their brief on this or even send it to me as i would like to look at a few breifs to get an ideo on what to do about it? thanks in advance

Can anyone post a portfolio he/she had done from the past years? Thanks

They won't be posting exam work. Doesn't your teacher have some old projects?

Why wouldn't they? I will post mine next year, cause it can only help others and it doesn't makes me "competition". I'll ask him tomorrow, he probably does...

You won't post yours, thanks.

BrianoBrains · 26-02-2014 6:36pm

Is there anybody else doing it through irish. If so we can compare portfolios

ire675 · 01-03-2014 2:13pm

Method Of Steering

I used a rack and pinion and with a bit of engineering magic I made it work even though the wheels had no front axel

Rear Wheeled Propulsion

Chain and sprocket, simple as.

Automated Door

Using a servo motor to open it.

rebels_cork · 02-03-2014 4:49pm

what are ye all using for the automatic door...having a lot of problems coming up with a solution for it.

Deadline friday anyone finished?

killardkaiser · 02-03-2014 8:08pm

Nearly finished, little bits to do still

Badwulf · 02-03-2014 10:39pm

How does it steer?

BrianoBrains · 03-03-2014 3:36am

I've only made models so far

Mod edit: Do NOT post pictures of exam material
And the drive is a clink clunk gearbox. They all work perfect

Nicke011 · 08-03-2014 12:24pm

I'm done, what you think?

Mod edit - DO NOT post pictures of exam material.

@BrianoBrains what you mean you only made a models so far? When are you going to make an actual Tumbler, so?

2thousand14 · 08-03-2014 1:03pm

Have 2 days to do the whole portfolio woohoo!!

I've built mine with the diff and transmission from a mini e-revo. I'm just going to drop in a ****ty dc motor and crappy gears before the lc. I don't see how what I've done is breaking the rules, but not worth the risk.

Badwulf · 10-03-2014 10:25pm

Made a balls of my body, I put way too much isopond on it and its all big and bulky, gonna have to spend hours sanding it all down, will i lose marks for putting a lair of isopond over the body?

BrianoBrains · 10-03-2014 10:45pm

Is isopond some sort of adhesive?

Badwulf · 10-03-2014 10:51pm

its like a big fiber glass filler on the outside

dazzer2 · 11-03-2014 11:10pm

HEY , i've done a mould for my tumbler but im completely stuck on an idea for the automatic door any have any ideas ?
