Continue Phase 3....

The Mechanical Team

Implementing the tracker on real life was a bit different than on papers. It was our first time to actually do something for real!. The amount of knowledge we gained was GREAT but the task was tiring.

Difficulties:
_________

1. When you drew on inventor a working drawing that says a part should be 32 mm it's easy, but when you tell someone to cut it 32 mm that's another story :D. We had to adjust most of the measurements we had to make it easier to implement
2. The names you study for things in college whether it's the English term or even the Arabic one is so not what workmen use. For example, what we would normally call a ball bearing with it's seating; is commonly known as "balya wesh 2ora!!!!"
3. You could make the best design in the world, but when you go do it someone might tell you it's not doable, and they could be very wrong, but if you insisted you could have it your way which is good or the workman might simply tell you "Fine, it's doable but I don't know how to do it!". WHY?? cause they have other stuff to do (mass production) and can't careless about your once in a life time small piece. so you may have to readjust your design for no apparent reason :S (Though I'll have to say that a good group in communicating with workmen would easily get pass this obstacle isA :) )
4. Rest of obstacles are comfort wise :D (bad place, weired people, horrible weather, no place to park if you had a car, and no transportation if you don't , no bathrooms, barely mosques to pray......yet, I had fun :D:D )

I will spare you the details of the journey and wrap it up with pics  :)
Stay tuned for the next post isA ;)
