Olaf Mike Wazowski R2D2 BB-8 Dog Slinky from Toy Story Flounder Emile the Rat

Develop and Build a Solution Louis’ parts: Teeth, Arms, Legs, and Horns Nick’s Parts: Hat and Eyeball We both worked on the body and edited it to work with our separate parts. We first made the body then we assembled the parts one by one onto it. We made multiple planes so that we could assemble parts all where they needed to go.

Evaluation We had a very quick and constructive brainstorming process and easily came to an agreement on doing either Olaf from Frozen or Mike Wazowski from Monster Inc. We decided to go with Mike Wazowski because we both thought it would be funny to have a model of Mike Wazowski, and Mike seemed to be doable based on are current inventor knowledge. Strengths: We worked together and effectively communicated. We generated many ideas in brainstorming and came to an agreement quickly and easily We solved many problems we had in inventor Weaknesses: We did not know how to make some inventor or constrain parts at first(the teeth and the hat)

Inventor Trouble For some parts of Mike we did not know how to make the part, so we had to research how to make the part. We learned how to do an extrude that cut an object as well as making a cone and a sphere. Some of the parts were not fully constrained because we couldn’t figure out how to constrain them the way we wanted, so we just manually moved the parts into place and then grounded them. For the feet, we mated it to the bottom of the teeth, so the legs are a little far forward.
