Full Documentation from inception of the idea to creation of the final project
At first I didn't understand what do to do at all thinking this was really hard to do until I figured out how to create the maze. We have never used this machine so I was gonna be very confused and the smart people were thinking it was hard to so no way I knew how to do it. Then fusion 360 came along which was the hard part of all the project that I definitely needed help to do it and then after I finished it all got easier, using the router was really easy.
Recipe
Not hard at all all you do is create a rectangle 8 in by 8 in is what what i did then you extrude it .75 in thick. Then after your create little boxes that create the paths and that are .313 in wide then extrude then extrude .25 deep for the paths the ball goes through. Then once your done you save and send to fusion 360 which is the hard part, you have to read the paper you get for that. Then use the CNC router to cut your maze out which is the easiest part, you center your foam then move the x and y axis so it is right in the center of your foam piece.

Summary of what I learned
I learned that how much process and different apps you have to go through just to maze what you see above you would think it would be a lot easier than it looks but it isn't. I learned how a router works and how complicated it is to make, but using the router is really easy it is the easiest part of the project.
