basically, now we found some tyres as our floating materials..and it costs us around RM30...worth it la..beter den tenggelam,..lagipun , boleh guna utk main di sungai..beach!!! haha...our structure will be mainly built next week as we have to lend a drill from the bengkel..however, all the materials are ready..team GENESIS are confident!

After gathering our materials, we have decided and deligated jobs and tasks to each member.

FoongYouSheng: Blog and documentation, base

Shew Chin Teck: Base, connections

Ong Boon Keong: Top part of Poseidon

Hopefully, we can finish building the top of Poseidon by this weekend and by next week, start with our base...and after raya, we will discuss on the aesthetic value, assemble, test and we are way to go on Sept 22!!!

So, to begin with, me(yousheng) and chintek went around komtar to search for connectors and the dried bamboo to be used. Apparently, Ong can't join us as he had issues..ohwell..the search must go on...here were found the dried bamboo and found some connectors...hope this works...

 Like a mess...

Measuring the tile to get the measurement.

 Fong sat on the floor, to get the surface area of base.

 

Arguing about the measurement....

  In this discussion, we decided the shape of the craft and the surface area of the base.

Then, we planned to buy the bamboo from bamboo supplier.

First discussion about craft!!

Finding the information through computer...

Paying 100% attention...

Identifing the problem...

Explaining the rough idea.

adding again.....

In first discussion about dome, we identified some problem that we will face in this project!!

• the material of the base- to make sure the geodesic dome can float above water.
• the design of the joint- to make sure it can set up in 30 minutes.
• the bamboo- we will use a lot of bamboo in the project and the place we can buy it.
