Bamboo Dome-part2

On Wednesday(11/8), we were asked to sketch out the draft of our bamboo dome during lesson RAG132. Here is our group sketching. Actually we had dicussed it in part one and roughly have an idea, jus that we didn't skecth it out.ha..

After that, Mr.Wanb showed us a sample which could help us in doing the dome, to make it easier to assemble. It is cool, but where shall we go to get it?

Then, our group decided to go to "bengkel" again to search for the pipes. But this gentleman told us that there is not such kind of pipe in "bengkel" and kindly told us to get it at the shops near Tesco. Besides, he did teach us how to make it in the shape too, that is use fire to heat it until it become soft and then use hammer to beat it into the shape we want.
Really thank for his guidance. ^^

Later on, after we discussed, we decided to buy bamboo by taking order with our coursemate Yeap Shi Jia. She persuaded us to buy together so that we can share the expansive transport fee.haha..

We have ordered 12 bamboo which is about 13feets high.

Bamboo dome-Part 1

Our group is named YTT Sdn. Bhd. which is stand for Yew(is me), Tan and Tay(our group leader). This time, as Prof. Wan request, we need to form a group of three people to make a bamboo dome which can only "carriable" by the group members, able to float all the group members and can last long up to 28months. Besides, we are only gave 30 minutes to assemble our product.

Having a group discussion among our group members, everyone is giving their oppinion and suggestion in order to make a bamboo dome with those conditions applied. All the funny and weird ideas come out. Finally, we got a draft of the thing and decide to pay a visit at "bengkel" on the next day.

We ask the authority in "bengkel" to get some useful suggestion in doing the dome. Thank to the gentleman who gave us some idea. Later on, we went to the motor shop and ask for the rubber which they usually throw away.

Kindly enough, the motor shop's boss is willing to give us the rubber(as a tool to tight up all the bamboo). We went to the shop and pick its up the next day and we are really appreciate with his help! (hope those rubbers work..)

First part-end.
