Assignment 2 : Progress of Real Construction 3 and 6-Balloon Black Bamboo Box
We did some survey around Komtar area today to search lighter bamboo for both our floating dome and 6-balloon black bamboo box. Finally we found a joss paper shop, it sold bamboo and we find out that the bamboo which have divided to smaller part is more light then bamboo sticks. With lighter bamboo, we able to carry our floating dome easily with 3 people and it may success to float on water. Moreover, we really need a very light material to make our 6-balloon black bamboo box too.

how nice was the owner
he was demo on how to shave and shape the bamboo to us :D
we decided to bought a few of it
Finally, we bought the rice paper and the bamboo from the shop. we decided to bought a few bamboo to make our 6-balloon black bamboo box first since the due date was nearer than the bamboo dome. Besides, we are still testing the floating ability of our new ordered bamboo which will arrive very soon during this few day. More to go on this two project! (anticipating xD)

Assignment 2 : Progress of Real Construction 1
On monday, due to the real construction assignment on bamboo dome, we decided going to Rumpun Buluh Research Village, USM through the RST gate. We go with large group to find bamboo xD
journey to the centre of Rumpun Buluh
we found it!
its very heavy, we need alots of energy to pull it aside
then togther we carry it out from the rumpun buluh village
collecting the small bamboo stick for the dome
everyone is carry the bamboo to RST gate
we form a line and pass the bamboo one by one.
Finally, all the bamboo was move to the road side of RST. Then the worst part was, we need to carry those bamboo to desa CG through the bridge. Everyone was so tired and haven eat their dinner even its almost 8pm. Luckily, the was a small truck from USM security willing to move all of our bamboo to Desa CG. We was able to place the bamboo to the safe place without worry. Coming up next was, splitting up the bamboo!

Assignment 2 : Geodesic Dome
This time, we are give an assignment to build a geodesic dome. We are require to make a dome from bamboo sticks . We are told that dome calculator and joints are the key of building the dome. Im making a 3V dome, its quite complicated to build it. The radius for my dome was 17.5cm therefore, i need to seperated three different length of bamboo sticks. The calculation of the dome was refer from http://www.desertdomes.com/domecalc.html
Bamboo sticks and other materials that needed to make dome
The bamboo sticks are seperated to part A, B and C
Cutting and sticking works
sticking with glue was failed so masking tape was used
Complicated work @_@
almost done......
I used up almost whole day sticking the geodesic dome -.- what a tiring day!
Intention : Build a geodesic dome
Actor : YenShan (Me)
