2F4 Project: Avoir expressions sentence constructor

2F4 Project:Avoir expressions sentence constructorDesign, and make, a one-armed bandit which will work as a sentence constructor for avoir expressions (saying whats wrong with you: too hot, too cold, thirsty, in pain etc.)It should have three independently rotating drumsThe first drum should contain a part of the present tense of avoir (Jai, Tu as , Il aetc)The second drum needs to contain words such as faim, soif, tort, raison, mal etcThe third drum should have a list of places where you can feel pain! ( la tte, aux oreilles, au pied etc., and a blank space for when this drum is not needed.The machine should be capable of generating different sentences by rotating the drumsIt should be appropriately decorated, assembled and finishedYou have 2 periods to do this

Attractively finished and well decorated machine.

As you can seeit cangenerate various accurate avoir expressions.

Build a one armed bandit sentence generator1 (Yes, entirely)1 (Yes, entirely)1Two periods2: Over-ran by a period, but quicker than anyone else2: Yes, apart from over-run1: Yes1: Yes1: Yes1: Excellent1: Yes; works well1: Does what it says on the tin1: Well decorated and finished1: ExcellentAbout avoir expressions; organising a projectWould have organised the time a bit better

Right?What was the Task set?Was the Task achieved? (1-4)Does it conform to the description? (1-4)Score (/2)Ready?How much time was allocated?Was it completed on time? (1-4)Efficient?Completed efficiently? (1-4)All contributed? (1-4)Safe & Responsible? (1-4)Tidied up afterwards? (1-4)Score (/4)Effective?Does it work? (1-4)Easy to Use? (1-4)Looks good? (1-4)Score (/3)ReflectiveWhat did I learn?What would I do differently?

Machine complete, but not decorated

Capable of generatingdifferent avoir expressions accurately

Build a one armed bandit sentence generator2 (Yes, but not decorated)2 (Apart from the lack of decoration)2Two periods3: Took nearly 4 periods3: Fair bit of time wasted1: Yes2: Some behaviour could have been better2: Largely2: Reasonable1: Yes; works well1: Does what it says on the tin2: Clear to read but undecorated1: Overall, achieves what it sets out to do


Potentially attractive machine, but some way from being finished

You can see thatwhen it was eventually finishedit would actually work

Build a one armed bandit sentence generator3: Partly. Not assembled and decoration incomplete2 Has most of the essentials2Two periods3: Took nearly 4 periods3: Fair bit of time wasted1: Yes1: Yes1: Yes2: Time management and concentration lacking1: Yes; would work if assembled1: Does what it says on the tin3: Clear to read but decoration unfinished2: Would be good finished and decorated


A long way off being finished, but

this, too, would work

Build a one armed bandit sentence generator3: Only about half completed3: Such of it as is there is fine3Two periods3: Took nearly 4 periods4: A lot of time wasted1: Yes3: Some behaviour could have been better2: Largely3: Could have done a fair bit better2: Yes; at a basic level3: No assembly or framework3: Has something of the Oh, thatll do about it.3: Could easily have been made much better


Has all basic elements.

But: can you spot the problem?Poor build quality means that Drum 2 is stuck and wont rotate

Build a one armed bandit sentence generator1: A finished machine1: Yes1Two periods3: Took nearly 4 periods3: A fair bit of of time wasted1: Yes2: In general, yes2: Largely2: Not too bad4: Build quality issue: Drum 2 stuck3: A bit awkward (quality of assembly)3: Not very well constructed; poorly decorated3: Could easily have been made much better


In the meantime, while they waited for others to finish, Robert & Qamar devoted their attention to this; providing a useful reminder of the many places you can feel pain!
