Summary of tasks completed
- Deconstruction of Honda CB750 motorcycle - as a group we helped deconstruct the Honda CB750 motorcycle in order to get a bit of a better understanding of the bike and its parts. We placed all of the parts into organised boxes and moved them from an off site garage, into a office room within the university in order to gain better access to the parts. I brought in my GoPro to document this process which will be placed on our Wiki and may become helpful when we reconstruct the bike to test our designed brackets that will support the new engine.
- Our team has developed various platforms for communication, presentation and file sharing. This includes individual blogs (individual presentation and progress), a facebook group (team communication), wiki (group presentation and progress) and dropbox (file sharing).

- I drew up a measured drawing in AutoCAD of the Honda CB750 motorbike frame using the manuals drawing and my own measurements as reference.
- I developed a sample 'Shades of Black' format that may be used for our Wiki style layout.
- Watched tutorials and began playing with SolidWorks. I found the best and most useful tutorials were actually the ones within the Solidworks program. These tutorials cover a wide range of tools and tasks and range from Introductory to Skilled.
Video Documentation
The group also experimented with Photostitching as a method of creating an accurate base model of parts that would be too hard to accurately measure. This involved taking various photos of an object (the engine) from all angles and placing it in a program called Autodesk 123D Catch which stitches the photos together using reference points to form a mass geometry. Here are a few images of some renders Dan and Alex got out of the photostitched model.
