Fancy Lego Car Assembly Case Study
Fancy Lego Car Assembly In order to begin assembling the fancy lego car with a driver, open the box and lay out all the pieces. There are thirty-seven blocks in all, not including the girl. Once all of the pieces are laid out begin assembly. The first step in building the car is assembling the base. Find both of the black two-by-two squares with axles, a one-by-four white block, and a two-by-eight white block. Place the one-by-four white block beneath the two-by-eight on one end. Next, place one of the black blocks with axles next to the one-by-four piece beneath the two-by-eight block. Put the second black block with axles on the other end of the two-by-eight leaving one space from the front. The black blocks with axles should be sticking …show more content…
Grab both of the black one-by-four pieces with a one-by-two lip attached to it, and then find two yellow and two red one-by-one squares. Next, get the white rectangular grill with three horizontal lines, and the white one-by-two piece with no prongs. Begin assembling bumpers by grabbing one of the black one-by-four blocks that has a lip and attach the white car grill to prongs two and three of the black block. Next, attach the two yellow blocks on each side of the grill. After completing the front bumper, follow the same steps using the red squares and prong less white piece on the other black block. Then place the front bumper with yellow squares on the side of the car that does not have the white one-by-four beneath it. Line up the two prongs of the lip with the two prongs between the fenders on the two-by-eight white block. To finish up the bumpers, place the bumper with red lights on the back, with the one-by-four on the bottom, by putting the lip of the black piece on the two prongs between the fenders. Next, begin making the cab of the car by placing a pink two-by-two with prongs over the black part of the front bumper with yellow lights. Then find the thin black steering wheel and the black base of the steering wheel with a small post coming off of it. Place the wheel on the small post then put the block on the right side of the pink block, but leave one column of two prongs between the pink block and steering wheel base.

    A Ford car contains about five thousand parts—that is counting screws, nuts, and all. Some of the parts are fairly bulky and others are almost the size of watch parts. In our first assembling we simply started to put a car together at a spot on the floor and workmen brought to it the parts as they were needed in exactly the same way that one builds a house. When we started to make parts it was natural to create a single department of the factory to make that part, but usually one workman performed all of the operations necessary on a small part. The rapid press of production made it necessary to devise plans of production that would avoid having the workers falling over one another….…

    Mousetrap Racer Report

    My Mousetrap vehicle turned out to be pretty good and in great working condition. My ideas of simple machines were put to a test when I did this project. The Vehicle travelled exactly 12 feet as expected. Like everyone my vehicle was also made of wooden pieces and mousetraps. The materials used were : wooden pieces, wheels & axles, and a mousetrap. It took me exactly 10 days to make my vehicle completely and with the help of Mr. Evans, Evans, and Nixon it seemed easy. Firstly I started off with the piece that was provided. I cut of a wooden piece with the width of 2 inches and length of 9 inches . Then I cut of the half of a big axle and made it in half and cut the half to another half. Then I cut off 2 sides of the vehicle with a width of 1.5 inches approx and length of 9 inches, to hold the axles I had to drill two holes on each sides. I made two holes on each sides and glued the side to the body and made sure that they keep strong. I was done with the mousetrap holder, sides and axles, moreover I was done with the body of my vehicle. Now that I was done with all that I glued the mousetrap to the body, then I glued discs of 4.5 inch diameter to my axles acting as wheels. Then I was completely done except for one thing and that is the small metal bar on my mousetrap handle acting as lever, and one more thing I added after the lever was the ropes. I hot glued the last resort of the rope to the middle of the axle and tied the front end to the bar so that when the lever pulls my car will be able to move forward (the rope length was about 12 inches). This is how it was done, it was a great experience.…

    The Scrambler

    For our car we decided to make it a rubber band car since that would give it the most mechanical and potential energy. The rubber bands were to act as our potential energy since it stored all the energy as we pulled it back to wind it up. The whole car then would be running on mechanical energy. As the rubber bands unwind, it turns the rear axle of the car which then drives the rear tires to move the car. Miranda made sure to get the car to only go forward by figuring out the right amount over rubber bands and how tight to make them. Another way to not make sure the car went a different direction was to make sure the bands released and didn’t get twisted back up. If they did that would result in a car that went backwards. The tighter we got them the father the car would go. It turned out to be about 4 bands that were tied together. The car was able to go because of the force that was being built up with the bands as they tightened. The back wheels were also put on tight so the car went straight and the axle was secured with glue to the rotating piece of wood. The only force acting on the car were the bands and with the cement ground there was no friction, so the car had a smooth ride. The speed did slow down however after the initial take off but we wanted it to go slower as it approached the wall for the safety of the egg. Overall our project went really well.…
