Idea
For this project we looked up multiple ideas and nothing stuck out. Either it was "too dangerous for school" or it just didn't have enough it to makes it worth of a final project. And then one say Kam found a neat idea that we could do...corn hole. We thought that we could use old tired for the base, left over would for the place where the bags hit, vinyl for the colors of boards and the 3D printer to make stakes and then we had our idea.
Steps
For this project I had to deal with the router. To start I found out how big the hole was in the middle of the tire, it was 18in and then I found out what the regulation corn hole diameter of the hole in the board and it was 6in. I then went on inventor and made a 18in circle and a 6in circle right in the middle of that and then made in .75in thick because the was the thickness of the would we were gonna use. I then transferred it over to fusion 360. I set the file as a cam and I did 2D contour to cut out the inside and out side of the circles. I then found its G-Code and brought it down to the router. We cut out rectangles of our wood and then screwed them into the board so it would stay still when the router cut it. The router first cut out the middle and when it cut out the middle we had to stop it and place 3 little clamps in the middle so it would stay still when it cut out the bigger circle . We had to do this then 6 times. This then finished up up the router part of out final project.

Summary
For this project we found the tires. We then made stakes from the 3D printer to hold the tires. We then made documents to get the wood and vinyl cut out. We then cut both the wood and vinyl out. Sanded the wood so the vinyl would stick and finally we screwed the stakes and wood into the tires to finish our project. All in all from this project I learned that team would is a really key part in making and completing things efficiently and to the highest standard. You also need to get along because you need to be able to agree and and talk about ideas to get the project started and to move it along. From a machine standpoint I learned that you can trick the router to thing that it is cutter a thicker piece of wood when it is only cutting a thinner piece. All in all I learned a lot from this project and I also enjoyed it because it was kinda letting us off the leash and letting us do out own thing.
