Project Update #6

   Today I researched adjusting to different lane conditions. Bowlers should generally be consistent when the oil pattern is fresh. If the ball is hooking too much, the bowler should left, and if it's not hooking enough, they should move right. These movements cause angle changes which will take into account the more or less friction on the lane surface. This information came from http://www.bowlingball.com/BowlVersity/changing-lane-conditions.
   Last weekend, I edited my second video and posted it to my blog. When attempting to post it, blogger said that my video file size was to big and I had to use a program called HandBrake to shrink the file size while retaining the quality of the video. I've gathered my questions and have sent them to my expert via email and am currently awaiting the response. I'm going to change my implementation guide to only have 4 videos since I'm behind. The change for my guide is also due to its topic: sport oil patterns. I would have to have the employees at Tucson Bowl reprogram their oil machine so that I could demonstrate the differences in reactions and I believe this to be a different task for them. Overall, my project is going smooth and with the change in implementation guide, I'm now on track for my projected finish date.
