Day 3 Group 18

Blog 3 Questions:
A) What changes did you have to do to your original design and why?
We did not account for all the supports. We thought that the pulley system would need one pulley and we had to add another pulley. We also didn't account for the time it would take for the marble to reach its goal.

B) What other challenges have you faced up to this point?
The biggest challenge we faced was time. We faced a major issue with time and organizing dates to meet up so we could finish. Another issue we suffered was the lack of a real plan. Our plan served as more of a guideline rather than a full on guide. 

C) Outside of simple machines and energy transfers, discuss two other physics concepts in detail that are demostrated in your project. 
The concept of torque is represented by the use of a lever in our project. Torque, or the rotation of an object on an axis will play a part in our levers and the support of our Rube Goldberg project because the torque is balanced.
