Day 1 - Group 32

My group consists of Gordon Webb, Alex Frey, Nick Hartley, and Sebastian Tran.

Our initial plan to launch the golf ball at a target was to apply enough force to a spring to launch the ball a certain distance. The spring could be set to launch the golf ball different distances by changing the amount of force applied on itself using something similar to weights in a bucket or a strong spring.

The challenges that we anticipate facing are within the stages of planning. Creating the most efficient machine that is good at being least efficient in order to complete a simple task as close to one minute as possible would be difficult if proper planning did not take place. Other challenges that may occur would be that the golf ball may not be launched correctly with a spring, so a more efficient machine should be created prior to the final due date.
