Objective 1 of 1: Revise the design of the 4 way hinge for the open source truck that allows for up and down and side to side movement.
Gary suggested that I begin to utilize the front and back of truck concept designs to envision the optimal type of hinge to create, while keeping in mind that this hinge should be modular and usable for other machines (such as the bulldozer) as well. After a team discussion and some research of the machines at Factor e Farm, I will continue to create prototypes until we find one that will work.

Included with each picture posted is a brief description, and a relevant link (to the Open Source Ecology main site or to Marcin's TED talk) in order to promote awareness and generate additional web traffic to OSE.

Arrival: Arrived at OSE after being delayed overnight at Denver airport. Met the team in person. There's already a great sense of camaraderie amongst the team. Cleaned out a room in the HabLab and moved my stuff in. Spent the afternoon helping out with work duties around the HabLab since my assigned SketchUp design work on the 6 machines in 60 days will begin tomorrow (Backhoe, Bulldozer, Car, Ironworker, Microtractor, Truck).
Cleaned up the entire place alongside the team members; swept and vacuumed the common rooms, kitchen, bathroom, cleaned toilet, untangled wires, discarded trash, organized cabinets, folded blankets, put everything back in its proper place. The HabLab is looking sharp right now! Not a spec of dust or straw anywhere in the house. Now I can focus completely on 6 in 60.
