May 7th No class today

May 8th (Shortened Class) we figured out how we were going to take out the plastic in the car. We are going to Mr. Melton's room to use the rotary tools.

May 11th Toady we took the car and we went to the art room to take out the back plastic window with this cool tool that can cut through plastic called a rotary wheel.

May 12th Today we learned how to use the iPod remote to connect the computer to the iPod. We called Apple because the remote would not connect, and we were on with a anomatronic robot on the phone for 5 minutes.

May 13th Today we were going to take out the fake speakers, but we came up with an idea. We are going to use the iPod holder to hold the iPod and attach the speakrs into the car. We also deleted our wiki and transfered it to the mcmake wiki.

May 15th We think that we will be able to put in the ice speakers into the back of the remote control car by next week, because we will probably order them this weekend. it also says on the website that they have pretty quick shipping. We have plannedhow we will make our wiki better also. We are going to upload photos of us working on the car, and take photos of our changes.

May 18th Today we were updating our wiki and Mannion did not show up today during class. So we did not have the iPod and we did not have the car, (which i forgot at his house over the weekend).

NEXT WEEK GOALS: We want to have the construction of the car almost done, and have the speakers ordered. This weekend we are planning to work on constructing of the car and work on the programming.

May 25th No class, Mermorial Day

May 26th We documented on the wiki and made a video. We also went outside to film but we ended up not filming there,

May 27th Today we made another video, and we had a team meeting with Mr. McCloud during class. We also figured out our price range for the speakers, which is $20-$35. We also fixed our Wiki, according to Mr. McCloud's demmand. Matt and Mannion we upatding the video and schudual pages. We also figured out that when we go to Matt's house, we will go to the apple store to find speakers in the mall. We didn't do anything with the car today because we were working very hard. Hunter put home page links on every page that we have, and updating the what we did during class page.

June 1st Today Matt brought in the speakers and they are very cool. we think that we will be able to put them on the car. We checked Mr.Melton's room at 8:30am but he was not in yet. We video taped the iPod and the speakers working.

June 2nd Today we cut out the back and we got the speakers attached to the car. Mannion also got music so we don't have to use pandora radio where we get music that swears.

June 3rd Today we asked Mr. Brown if he had a iPod controller and he said yes. We used it but it does not work on our iTouch. matt thinks that he has one that would work. We have to buy a controler that is $50. We have a picture of the final project and here it is:
