Blog Post 4- Group 41

A) Yes, because the first machine, the plinko,  is the most difficult step to go through in the process and we have gotten it down to where we feel confident enough about the other steps because they all rely on the plinko.

B)  Dao finished the water mechanism, creating a new funnel system that take more time, and the boat part. Kenneth finished the bottom mousetrap launcher, for the golf ball. Garrett created a mechanism that splits two marbles one going to the plinko and the other setting off the water mechanism. I built a support structure for the split wedge thing and help with making the of the wedge thing that is connected with the mouse trap launcher.

C)  Yes, we have made a pulley, incline plane, wedge, another incline plane and wedge, for the energy transfers it goes from GPE, to KE, to a different KE so we have finished off the energy transfer requirements and simple machines ones as well.
