Documentation of Project

Today, our teacher asked us about documentation and I went like:

I didn't now what to do, I was just like the left shark at the super bowl half time show.  Along the way, I have been taking photos every now and then when I remember to.  Besides that, I have my blog which has been documenting most of what I have been doing.  When it comes to actually building the skateboard, I will be taking more photos.  By then, I should have more control over the project just like the catch of the year from the super bowl.

Progress Update

Well I have been chugging along recently on the motorized skateboard project.  I recently ordered the rear trans axle.

 It is a rear axle off a MTX riding lawn mower.  I did not know that it came with 20" tires, but that's what I got to work with.  Main reason why I want to use this trans axle is that it converts horizontal shaft to vertical motion, needed for my horizontal shaft engine.  Hopefully, I will be making a trip to the local steel supplier here in town soon to get the steel that is needed.  As long as death does not come down on me because of this project, this will be a beastly skateboard.
