For this part of the assignment we had to design a maze using inventor then transfer it onto a new software called Fusion 360 which is basically a better version of inventor (it has a lot more options to use) (yet still does the same things as inventor). once we finished the design we uploaded it to 360. This is the confusing part. We had to show it where to start, what tool to use to cut (as well as size of all of these) once we set that up we had to set up a tool path and watch an animated version of it being cut out to make sure that it works. Once we know it did we had to send it to post process and get its "G code", the directions the machine uses to know how to cut it out. Put that sucker on a flash drive and then into the router and boom. The machine starts! Easy Peasy.

INITIAL maze ideaThis boy was a struggle for me...mandy had to give me some assistance but yet I prevailed. Plus it looks pretty cool.
Final maze :)Look at the lugubriousness of that maze.

Print startcatch me coming down from a panic attack after he finally fixed it and it started to cut into it.
