CAD Automoblox

This was the progress I was able to make on the CAD model of the Automoblox. I managed to make some of the passenger base, though I was struggling with the triangle and hadn't even attempted making the star. Filleting the edges came easily, as that was my question in the Teach What You Know blog post. However, determining the dimensions of the shapes locations was difficult, and I primarily struggled with that. I'm still unsure as to how to dimension the triangle into its exact location, along with how to make a star shape.

Geometric Constraints Reflection

1). We used triangles, since those were the most stable, and a hexagon base, which would be strong and large.
2). Acute/obtuse angles resulted from the triangles formed.
3). Excluding the base, the overall SA of the exterior would be 28.25 inches. I would use 28.25 inches of wood as my material.
4). The overall SA of the interior would be 44.49 inches. If each person were the size of a gumdrop, then approximately 30 people could fit inside the shelter.
5). We were only given 30 toothpicks and 12 gum drops, so we had to make our shelter smaller.
6). We designed the shelter to be very secure, and as such the design turned out incredibly stable.

Inventor Question

My question regarding inventor: how do you fillet your design?

I used this page and this video. After reading through the page and watching the video, I realized filleting was easy. All you had to do was click on the Fillet icon on the top side bar and input your measurements, and voila, your design can be easily fillet-ed. 

Form Follows Function

Snuggies. Warm, comfy, and in a variety of colors, Snuggies seem to be perfect. However, don't be fooled. The Snuggie is a lie. With their deceptive advertisements, your $14.99 is wasted on a junk piece of cloth with no back.

...Which is why I've decided to redesign the Snuggie, with a back.

Because I was absent on Wednesday, I was unable to design CAD parts. However, given that I was redesigning a Snuggie, I doubt I would've been able to do so otherwise.
1). The Snuggie 360 is intended for all a variety of shapes and sizes with an colors to pick and choose from. 
2). It would be made just like actual snuggies, except the cloth would be stitched together at the back, along with pockets and hoods.
3). It meets the project criteria due, since the Snuggie has a major flaw in its design, and the Snuggie 360 works to fix this.
4). The Snuggie 360 is literally the Snuggie, just with minor adjustments.
5). It is similar to the Snuggie in general design, however the hood, pockets, and closed back make it unique. 
6). It could be better by using better, softer material, rather than just cotton.

Assembled Puzzle Cube 

Here's my final completed puzzle cube.
Mean: 88.2
Median: 85
Mode: None
Standard Deviation: 67.79897
Overall my puzzle cube was relatively easy to solve, as many were able to finish it within minutes. Even though it wasn't particularly challenging, it apparently "Makes people feel good about themselves" when solved.

It's important to model an idea before making a final prototype because without a model, you are unable to clearly see the final prototype and any adjustments it may or may not need. What I like about my puzzle is that all the pieces fit together well, and there are no pieces that are hard or impossible to fit together. One thing I would change if I could would be making my puzzle cube more challenging and not have it so easily solvable.
