Geodesic Dome part 4

We only managed to start doing our bamboo raft on the 4th week.
And our groups' progress can be consided very slow ald...
So, we decided to build our base 1st.

We start building at 6'o clock in the morning....
so hardworking....

Location: far behind IK

maesuring its length.

OMG......technique error....
saw wrongly....
so disappointed

Our gadgets

work patienly

worked 2gether.....tired but enjoyable..

In order to gather more idea on how to create a raft,
we had a group discussion at studio 100.
our outcome is...
The bamboo dome raft should be...
~light (so tat, it is portable)
~floatable (If not, everyone will sink)
~connected tightly (By 'tali lembu')

aftereveryone looks serious...

Then, we decided to buy some more bamboos because we realised tat we still short of a number of bamboo shoots...
By the way, we had bought a tyre and 3 plastic containers to increase the bamboo rafts' floatability...

Prevention

Plastic container which came from kedah~

each group only allowed to have 1 tyre+ 3 containers

After distributing all our material,
everyone decided to start doing thier bamboo raft as fast as possible.....
If possible..
finished it before hari raya....
Hopefully....

Bamboo dome part 2

Wow~
there were about 30 ++ppl join our group to hv some more bamboo at taman Rekreasi...
Everyone meet at RST after school...
And everyone broungh along their own gadgets....

v went by bus.

Before going into the bamboo site....
Everyone need to write down their name and contract number in order to make sure evryone could came back safely....

Briefing

Then we separated into a few group to find the bamboo cluster....
It really had comsumed us so much time....
We feel thirst as it was very hot on that day.

Finally.....
We had found it...
But....
It was too high!!!!
So.... 3 of us(guys) were forced to climb up by all the girls....no choice..
The ground was so smooth..

We need to walk carefully....and i nearly fell down..

3 guys+10girls in 1 group

Nice bamboo...but too less....
how to make sure everyone can get it....
headache....

Dangerous..too high and smooth

Torns~

After choppping, we need to transfer all d bammboo down..
So, all the girl were required to lined up and passed the bamboos down one by one.
Girls also had contributed a lot...
so, we like to help them....
however....
later....
a gang of frenz came up....
and make us felt so disappaointed wif them....

Since we still short of bamboos....
we continue our journey to find another site...
and we lastly decided to joined another group to chopped down the tallest bamboo trees...
