Project Proposal
Gothic Architecture
The assignment was to make a model of a Gothic style building and a poster explaining the style. The poster can be found here, and pictures of our CAD model can be found below. The model was made in Autodesk Inventor.
Code Bytes
I have started a new series for my robotics team, Waxahachie Robotics. The series is Code Bytes: 8-bits of code and is full of programming tips and hacks for languages like LABview and ROBOTC. You can find all of my Bytes here.
Recipe Video
In Spanish II, I had to make a video of me making a recipe. Mine is Italian Shrimp with a Star Wars twist. Enjoy!
Future Tense Explained (in a Hunger Games Fashion)
In Spanish II. We have to make a music video to explain a tense. We could choose any song. My group consisted of Raegan DuBose, Alyssa Hunt, and I. Our tense was future tense. The song we chose was “Hanging Tree” by James Newton Howard featuring Jennifer Lawrence.

Vex Elevator
This was a Project I worked on. I did the original Programming.
3rd Class Lever
The 3rd class lever that I found was a stapler.
The formula for a lever is
You apply the force three inches from the fulcrum and the force is applied to the staple five inches from the fulcrum, so the Ideal Mechanical Advantage is
So for every pound of force I put on the lever, the lever applies .6 lb. It also means that for every inch I push down, the staple is pushed inches. So I am sacrificing force in order to staple faster.
1st Class Lever
The 1st class lever that I found was a pair of scissors.
The formula for a first class lever is
You apply the force about three inches from the fulcrum and cut about one inch from the fulcrum, so the Ideal Mechanical Advantage is
This means that for every pound of force I apply to the handle, the scissors cut with three pounds of force, not including the wedge.
