Task: To make a device that releases the ball to a minimum of 12inch and the ball should return to the initial position. Repeat the process as many times as possible under 30 seconds.

Plan:

Forgive for the bad handwriting we had only 1.5 hour to complete the whole design our mouse trap broke in midst of the construction. * Colors are inverted to make it more clearer

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Design parts:

1. Cone to catch the ball: We made an enormous cone of about  6inch in diameter. It wasnt exactly in a conical shape, but it was able to catch the ball efficiently.

2.Mouse Trap shooter: We used the mouse trap to shoot the ball at the cone. We figured out that the mouse trap was shooting with more force than we need it to so we used couple of rubber bands on the opposite side to reduce the force.

3. Feeder pipe: This was probably the hardest thing to design because it was very time consuming task to make the pipe turn and also to make.

Difficulties faced:

1. Mouse Trap Broken: Our mouse trap broke just an half an hour before the due time.  We did not waste time getting a new one but instead we glued it and instead of using force from spring we solely used to force from the rubberbands.

2. Feeder pipe: It was taking us a lot of time to make the feeder pipe turn therefore, instead of making the whole pipe turn we made a curved wall to guide the ball back to its position.

Results:

First Trial: 8shoots in 30 seconds ~ 0.27 shoots/sec

Second trial: 15 shoots in 30 seconds ~ 0.5 shoots/sec

Competition highest: 22 shoots in 30 seconds ~ 0.73 shoots/sec

Lessons learned:

We had an efficient design but unlike the best design out ball took a longer route i.e. swirling through the cone  to the pipe to the starting place. The best design had ball going up and down the same slope! I appreciate the best design and I am happy that they were from my school!

In all the pictures the mouse trap is unloaded.

My Presentation at UIC for Chicago Android Group

This was the first presentation I ever gave in my life. And it was in front of experts. Most of them had PhD and I was the only high school student there. I joined this Chicago android group because I really want to promote “open sourceness”. I like android over other mobile os(OSX, Symbian, Palm OS, Blackberry) because it is open source use the firmware without violating any rules that other closed source OS have. My topic for the presentation was rooting Android phones(G1 and MyTouch). Rooting basically means that the software on the phone gets access to certain core data structures and is allowed to manipulate them. Rooting is NOT equal to hacking, and android is open source firmware so any one can tweak according to his needs .

Home made speaker casing made with lego....

These are the pictures of the speaker case that I made for speaker my uncle was throwing away. I was going to make a dock for 3.5mm jack but ran out of blocks.
PROCEDURE that I FOLLOWED
1.Try to unscrew the speakers and safely conserve the circuit.
2.To closely remodel the plastic I used heated knife.
3. Try to make a strong case for the speakers using lego in preferable shape you want.
4. While making case keep in mind the dimensions of the speaker so that they fit in.
5.I made base broader then the top so that the speakers stay intact.
6. I implanted 2 speakers in 1
