Blog1: For my technology project I chose to make a Dragster and CAD modeling. One of my main problems is going to be working in solidworks for the CAD modeling, this is because I have never really used solid works before. On the other hand I am really excited and interested to make the Dragster. I have never done anything like it and it seems like it is going to be very fun. It is going to be interesting trying to make sure that all of the Dragster parts are put in the right place so it can drive. I have always wanted to do something like this and it is really cool that i am going to be able to do it in school. Something I want to make sure I do with this project is getting it done early so I am not stressed towards the due date. When I finish my Dragster it will be a lot of fun to get to actually let it drive. Since the Dragster project is only worth 50 points I chose to also do the CAD modeling so I could earn 100 points. I have never done anything with modeling or making something on a website so it is going to be very challenging for me but at the same time it is going to help me develop some skills that I will be able to use when I get in the real working world. To start with my dragster, I am going to watch some youtube videos and get some ideas for the actual wooden base. I have heard that the wooden base of your car can drastically change the speed that your dragster goes. I want to make sure my dragster has great speed. My favorite color is blue so I will definitely be including that color. I am interested in how the co2 will be able to propel the dragster. I am considering finding some Denver Broncos or flame decals. I am interested to see how I will actually put the dragster together and what kind of fasteners will be used like screws or nails. I will have to make sure I don't split the base wood. I am curious if we will all use the same size wheels or it depends on the size of your wooden base. I still have not decided what kind of vehicle I want to make for my CAD modeling project. Some ideas I have are a helicopter, a humvee, or some kind of military tank. I am very excited by the military so it will be fun to make a vehicle that represents my interest. I am still deciding if I want to use plastic or wood. I am still confused on how to determine if my model is too large or too small to print and how to change the size in solidworks. Overall I am so excited to do this project because it is completely different than anything I have ever done.
