AndyWhite wrote: » yeah, as slickmcvic said, just fill it up with simple stuff. Type up the entire brief as your first few pages. give dictionary definitions of some of the bold words and explain your interpretation of each of the instructions. Then write about some of the different options you could have chosen as a solution to the brief and the pros and cons of each. Finish with the one you chose and explain it in more detail. then add in loads of pictures and diagrams of your work (do the diagrams in CAD if you can. It might take a while but you'll earn more marks for it. If you can get your hands on a copy of solidworks, I'd reccomend it. Google sketchup is free and you can do most of the things you need with it but it can be a little difficult to deal with. Someone lost our schools copy of solidworks so im stuck with google). Explain your choice of materials for the various different parts and your assembly techniques. Then explain any difficulties or problems you encountered along the way and how you solved them. Show how you tested it and explain how well it fulfilled the brief. Say any thing you would have done differently had you been starting again after the experience. And finally, make it look pretty!!! That should pretty much cover everything. If you're unsure about anything as you go along, show it to your teacher or classmates (or me if you like) and ask for their advice. Someone elses eyes are always useful.

AndyWhite wrote: » Thanks! I didnt actually use a chain, its just a little rubber wheel running directly off the motor that drives the main disc. A lot of people had problems with wormwheels slipping etc so i thought this might make it a little easier.
