What we accomplished today is tracing the templates for the cowl onto cardboard. The way we did that was by looking at the ‘Telltale’ version of the cowl and free-handing and tracing, at the end of the class we were able to test-fit some pieces by using tape. Overall I believe the suit is coming along nicely and right-on-track, however what I’m worried about mostly are the leg pieces and if I can find a way draw them – considering their size. Next week I would like to start gluing some pieces together and then afterwards, start spray-painting. I still have yet to find a way to cut out my phone gauntlet, considering the measurements and angles I’d need to make it a snug fit..

Today we started working on tracing the outline of the pieces of the suit onto cardboard and we ended up cutting out some of the pieces needed. Also, I’ve started to look into the design for the cowl as well as the gauntlet that would strap in a cell phone for easy-use in conventions or wherever, as opposed to simply keeping it in a bag. The idea for the cowl is to make it so that it can receive calls and work as an earpiece, much like to how it’s seen in the ‘Nolan’ trilogy and the ‘Arkham’ games. Not only that, but so the phone can receive a purpose by answering the calls and doing other things. Another design aspect I’d like, is to incorporate LED eyes somehow into the cowl – however it’s not a necessity.

So basically for the 20% project our goal is to create a functioning, practical batsuit that can be accesible to our devices and add more of a high-tech purpose rather than just being cardboard. Our main inspiration for a lot of this suit draws to the comics as well as the movies, we want to maintain some armor as well as some movement in the suit without resorting to gluing it onto the fabric. The suit, at the end, should resemble the following pieces – with some changes:

Hopefully at the end of things, it’ll transcend into our own iteration of what The Batman should look like.

A car accident occured this morning in Sherwood Park, causing one death and three more injuries. Both cars collided when one of them drove through a red light. This relates to Physics as we can determine how fast the car was going at the time it sped through the red light, and figuring out the force it would need to hit and kill one of the passengers in the other vehicle.

As the title of the article shows, this is a self-explanatory article. This involves Physics based on the fact that the collision of the car and the person would have needed an impact so strong that the person would have been in critical injury – as the report states.

The news article states that a 43-year old woman died after a diving accident went wrong. Despite being a gruesome article to present, this happens to relate to Physics as well. Depending on the acceleration of the body when falling down as well as the force of gravity, it has since been reported that the woman had died on scene after paramedics failed to save her.
