Checking In

Now I have my mind set on a trapping mechanism that restrains your opponent giving you the advantage over them and have undergone a good amount of background research (so far), I feel it would be a good time to check my progress with the timescale I set out at the start of this project, shown here:

Final Major Project Timescale - 2010

Week 1 15th -19th March	Write statements
Week 2 22nd – 26th March ---------- Weeks 3-4	Hand in statements 23rd March ----------------------------Easter Break 29/03 – 9/04 – Research & Development in Sketchbook

Week 10 17th – 21st May	Work up 17th May Private View 19th May

It is Wednesday evening and I am currently working in Week 5, so according to my chart I should be Experimenting with materials and potential designs and working towards a final idea which I should start making next week. So I am slightly behind schedule but I feel happy with the background research I have done on this blog, ideas for designs shouldn't be too hard to come up with

So tomorrow, during the day (9:30am-5:00pm) I plan to start experimenting with materials and mechanisms in the workshop and in the evening set out ideas and designs...
