UMLMedieval Sign off-
The wind powered cart does not work very well, as the fan and mast both are not properly utilized. The cart itself does not move, though whether that is a result of Newton's third or the lackluster propellant system is unknown. The cart itself is light and relatively balanced, but could still use some weight reduction.
Further development of the actual fan-mast system was needed.
Overall, we had a great time meeting up to discuss the different ideas and crafting something from scratch was a first experience for all of us.

UMLMedieval put their heads together and cranked out a beast of a machine.
This is the land sailer, we got pieces for a cart together and laser cut out the base for the mast. A battery will be used to power the air dynamic propellant, and the mast control powered through the Arduino.

After a team trip to Home Depot, we decided on a foam base, with a 5/16 dowel for the axles.
we'll be utilizing both of the motors of the Arduino kit, to provide a rotational mast and the wind for our sails.
Construction of the cart shall be completed today, with uploading of the Arduino code as well.

We designed this wheel to help our cart move. This is one of four wheels on the cart. These were designed with weight being an important factor so we decided to shave off as much weight as we could. We then tried to make it still durable by adding material to certain spots as reinforcement. We plan on 3D Printing these wheels.

Happy Thanksgiving post by UMLMedieval!
After a brief creative hiatus, UML Medieval staged a meeting to get  back on track with the goal of a wind powered cart, utilizing both motors of the arduino kit to control the mast and the wind power.
All three members were in attendance to discuss which parts we needed to buy and what would be 3d printed/ laser cut.
The wheels will be 3d printed, with a foam core and wooden dowels as axles.
Stay tuned for production over this upcoming week.

Hello, our group consists of Tyler Ginnett, Ryan Kane and Mitchell Bertowski. Our project will be heading in the direction of an Arduino controlled siege engine, with plans of a rotating base of turret and lever arm control.
