Group 20: Blog 4

A. We don't really anticipate being 100 percent successful on our first run because, we took into consideration that the marble could always snag on a loose nail that needs to be tightened or something to that nature. We would actually find it more beneficial if we didn't have it work 100 percent the first time so that we find our mistakes and fix them before the presentation. Basically go in with 100 percent confidence in our project.

B. Chris started the design of the project as a whole and has been almost like the leader of the group.
Justin has brought the drill and tools that we have needed for the project.
Ethan has brought most of the screws and also has provided further instructions and changes to the diagram.
Edward brought the glue gun and the marbles and provided the idea for the pulley and lever drop that coincide with one another.

C. The energy transfers so far we have filled out completely with five of them but the simple machines we still in need of maybe one or two such as a wedge or wheel and axel. We hope to have the screw wrap around the pole on the side of our project and we hope to have a wedge be hit by a marble and cause the pulley system to then activate.
