Today is my first entry. I finally got links working and have indexed everything that I need to. Today in class we went over the last Wednesday Challenge then went to the computer lab to work on our websites. I have, thankfuly, gotten the site to a point where it is functional and, when all the content nessicary is put, will be ready to finally try some fancy stuff.

Today we had a presentation from an organization called SWEE which talked about women in engineering. Another talked about his experience as an engineer. We were then given a challenge to make a prostheic limb, which we did with minimal cheating. We, instead of making a prosthetic, took a cart and had our group member brace one leg on it, which acted as the prosthetic limb. Our limb was the most working of all.

Today we updated our websites with information from the challenge introduced from the previous day. We were also given time to research, however our group spent the entire day updating, which was fine with me.

Today we had a Wednesday challenge, which was a replication of the previous Wednesday challenge. We improved much over last time, though we did not win. Very little else happened.
9/14/17:
Today we updated our websites and did some research on the design project. We have decided that the most probable solution is probably a ramp and have been doing research to figure out legal codes and whatever we might need to implement to make the ramp functional.
9/15/17:
Today we were given more time to update websites and research more on the project. I am going to take this time to fully update this website and fill in missing dates from this site.
9/18/17:
Today we worked more on our design project, working to figure out what materials we should use, what restrictions we have, and if our solution of taking up a parking space for the ramp would be allowed. Until the question reguarding the use of the parking space is answered, there is little work necessary to do.
9/19/17:
Today we did not do much work on the project because we needed to get answers from the school to be able to continue or change the design due to legal issues or differences in what the school wants.
9/20/17:
Todau we were given answers. We were told that the access point which we were currently working with was not only allowed but the better access point. We were also told that concrete is out of the budget and that we will most likely use decomposed granite.
9/29/17:
Today we remeasured all of the values which we had previously measured out and got a few new values, such as the total length of atleast three tracks which we will most likely have to design.

I realize now that the projects tab will be the most updated portion. I will assume that this will now be here simply to hold any updates that I feel like giving periodically. By that, I simply mean that there will only be updates when I feel like it or when I have the time. Today we were simply given time to learn how a specific devide works, I choose the railgun, and either add it onto our sites or create a powerpoint. My device explaination is already up in the projects tab. I am simply going to make everything slightly better at this point.
