I need to continue working on problem solving and figuring out the prototype for my robot. I am doing a good job of keeping up with my work and requirements so contining to do that is very important. The main thing I am working on now is the shelfing inside the skull to hold my electronics. It is a tight space so I have to problem solve to make the stuff fit correctly. I also need to continue working on the physical aspects especially because the art aspects start next semester it is important to experiment now and over break with what the final project will look like. I also need to keep testing the code to make the eye and jaw movements to make them more life-like.
Things to continue:
- Problem solving
- Working on physical aspects of the process
- Thinking about the final product
- Making the eye and jaw movements more human-like
Stop
I have had a bad habit of waiting until one time a week to do a bunch of work instead of doing it in managable chunks. It can be difficult especially since so much of this is 3-D printed to be able to do work quickly. I have been printing pretty routinely but the more writing and coding parts I have been doing all at once. The 3-D print stuff needs babysat which can be time consuming so while I am doing that I can do other work.
Things to stop:
- Stop making myself do a weeks worth of work in a day
Start
I need to start adding a list into my journal entries so they past the checks. I have been doing the word requirements just not the lists. I also need to start on my literature review. I need to make a work scedule and be able to stick to it. This will make it so that I do not end up doing everything all at once and stressing myself out. This is espcially important as I start having to read more. I am a pretty slow reader at times especially if I am taking notes so making it so I do not have to do an extensive amount of reading at once is very important for my mental health. I also need to discuss with JJ how to version my project and progress. It will be a little different than other people because I am mostly working with hardware.
- Writing goals list on journall entries
- Literature Reveiw
- Make a work scedule for my comp and stick to it
- Versioning my project
