Below is a quick video of our cam and agitator arm design in motion.

Check it out.

Pictures of the Design

Below are some 3-D models of our Design. As said before, we have begun ordering and manufacturing parts, and construction should begin within the next 3 to 4 weeks. We are really looking forward to making a functional model of our system, and presenting it on April 12th at the TSGC Showcase.

We look forward to seeing everyone there,

So So So Sorry

Wow... We're so sorry that it's been so long since we've updated everyone.

Here's what happened at the end of last semester and what's happened so far this year:

The showcase went off without a hitch. The Lamar Launderers proudly represented Lamar University and we felt like we did a nice job presenting our concept. When all was said and done, we walked away with these five awards:

-Best Poster
-Best use of 3-D modelling Program
-Best Photo Documentation of Project (Semester I Team)
-3rd place for Oral Presentation
-Honorable Mention for Patch Design

More importantly, the Lamar Launderers made some great contacts with other schools and teams, as well as NASA employees and other "big-wigs" that we were very happy to meet.

So far this year, the Lamar Launderers have been focusing on purchasing parts to begin constructing our design.

We've been in contact with Advanced Urethane Inc., and they seem very excited to assist us as much as possible. The Team has also been shopping around for assorted parts, including motors and water tanks that will be necessary for our presentation.

Other than that, the Team has run some basic experimentation and calculations dealing with the press mechanism, and we are very pleased with their results.

So that just about sums it up. We're happy to be posting again, and even more so to be working on, and finalizing our project that we're so proud of. We'll be posting more pictures and information when we have them.

Thanks for following us,
