My idea for the maze was to create a simple one for a little kid to figure out. I did have some other ideas but there would not have been able to do so I went with with a simple maze. When creating the lines for the maze I started with the final path and then added on to that first path. To create the the maze I started with a rectangle in Illustrator and extruded it. The I started with creating the maze lines. Starting with the final way to get to the end. Then I added on to the existing ways to create the whole maze. Once I was done I saved it and put it into Fusion 360. Then I went through all the steps on the sheet to make to code for the mill so it would work. Then I saved it to my flash drive and went down to the Router to create it. I taped the piece of foam to the mill board and did all of the settings in the computer to make it. It only took a few minutes to make.

What I learned
What i learned from this project was that you need to be ready and on top of things. I had to do the this, the Mill, and then the final project at the same time. So I was starting to get behind with these all and had to go into contact time to work on them all. I was not always knowing what to do. Fusion 360 was confusing and there were so many steps in it that you had to do. I started to get behind and was struggling to get everything done before school ends.
