The night before the BIG day

Some cleaning + patching jobs are left and the blobtown is ready to shine for the world!

Crunch time

Yesterday was a LONG LONG day, like any other days I guess.

Remaining cut bricks at Machineous got delivered to the gallery early in the morning, so only job that’s left to do is to build the pavillion and cleaning up the mess. Surprisingly more people than usual were helping out the assembly team. 

Greg dropped by late afternoon to see how it’s coming together. 

Now that the wall is taller and top has to be connected, it is a bit more difficult for the blobbers to put those bricks together.

For the love of Blobtown…

Look who got caught working all by himself tonight? 

 

 

 

 

So here’s current status of the Team Assemblage:

1. People disappear. (What else is new…)

2. Three out of Five soldering irons busted. 

3. Lots of patching work needed.

4. Scaffolding action much needed at this point; we just hope that when all the bricks are connected our blobwall stays up!

Happy Happy Cutting team

As of today, after 16 days at Machineous, cutting team’s work is DONE! All the bricks have been cut. Awesome work cutting people!

As blobbers are working nonstop, blobwall is getting taller and higher for sure.

Memorial Day weekend for the Blobbers…

is of course, busy busy busy. Andreas and cutting team is planning to finish cutting all the bricks by tomorrow. Since the wall is torquing… mini scaffolding system has been a big help!

Assembly Day 5: Blob Day 40

Today was bit of a slower day for assembly team. Not enough people showed up, so a lot was focused on patching those gaps in between bricks.

Cutting team didn’t really have a smooth day at Machineous either since a lot of paths were messed up. BOO to some folks at Programming team, thus, Ben + ChiaHwa are still working at the computer lab right now, almost midnite on fri nite. Without these devoted people, blobtown won’t be happening for sure! 

Nick and Ben earlier the day went to pick up the last batch of bricks at C-PAK, so no more 90mile-each way trip to San Bernardino anymore.

Assembly Day 4: Row 4 completed

Wall is getting taller and higher now. Jeff came in early in the morning to help the assembly team for some better guidance since a lot of them were a bit lost in the process. Solid system has been established among themselves so all of them have certain roles, i.e. holding the bricks around to fit them, welding some spots to secure, and later on patching those gaps in between bricks. Indeed it is not an easy task for sure, but it is coming together. They finished up to row 4 and row 5 bricks were delivered from Andreas’ shop at the end of the day. ONWARD!

Assembly Day 3: Robots are in the house!

Today’s big task was putting up all the robots that Mr. Lynn collects with the bubble shells. Assembly team was busy stacking up bricks upto Row #02.
