**April 12, 2012** * Broke up team into 3 sub-groups to increase efficiency: Aesthetics, Parts & Mechanisms, and Housing Box Teams * Discussed plans for next 3 weeks (it's crunchtime! 8-o) ** April 17, 2012** * Received music player, shafts, and gears in the mail. * Did not receive the worm gears yet, and will decide on whether it is worth spending the money on them or not. **April 19, 2012** * Bought plywood pieces to use for building the box. * Finished SolidWorks model of box, and sent it to the laser cutter to be properly assembled. * Metal shafts were cut into their proper lengths for integration into the music box. * Met to discuss final plans and schedule for assembling the entire box. **April 23, 2012** * Began intensive work for the final project; assembled the entire wooden box, shafts, some gears, and added "grass" to the scenery. **April 24, 2012** * Converted some parts of the Foundation Building in SolidWorks to AutoCAD and laser-cut them (on plywood of course). **April 25, 2012** * Laser-cut the front design of the Foundation Building and redid the cam on 1/8" acrylic as opposed to 1/4". **April 26, 2012** * Worked on the aesthetics of the Foundation Building. * Currently trying to figure out how to adjust parts which do not line up with what was expected on the music box, since the music box had a slight offset causing problems with getting all of our parts to work together. * Deadline got extended to May 4th!!!
