A. Well we realized that the pulleys took up a lot of room on our first board so we decided that in order to fully create a project which is both pleasing and accomplishes the task while including the requirements we would need to extend it so we added another board, which allowed us more freedom to at simple machines and time wasters.
B. Well when rolling the marble down ramps and up pulleys we realized that there are times when the marble will fall off track so we found a sweet spot to realize the marble from so that it wouldn't fall off. There were also times when the strings on the pulleys would get stuck and that would cause the entire project to malfunction so we made sure that before we tested the project we had to check to make sure every part was in place and ready to go.
C.
In order to meet the requirement of having an electric component in our project we used what we learned about conductors earlier in the semester and created a way to use a marble wrapped in foil in order to let energy travel to a fan, thus turning it on and allowing for our project to continue along its path. Another concept we used relates to the slingshot lab we did in the beginning of the year and we used it in order to help us calculate how we can hit whichever target the judges ask us to hit.
