Day #4 Group #30

Written by Kyle Muller

A) Do you anticipate being successful in your testing? Why or Why not?

We anticipate being successful in our testing because we have been doing test runs throughout our project and we feel that we are on pace to achieve the task and fill all the requirements because of our planning and organization. Also, we feel that we will be successful because the design of our Rube Goldberg is capable of successfully completing the task.

B) How has each group member specifically contributed since Wednesday?


Since Wednesday, Joeseph has helped with formulating and implementing a lever and pulley into our project, as these simple machines are crucial to the function of our Rube Goldberg. Myself and Mack have helped with building and putting on items onto the pegboard and both of us have been testing the project and making sure everything is working. Christian has helped with bringing drills and other necessary supplies that we have used to build certain things. Christian has also come up with the idea for implementing a circuit into our project.

C) Have you filled out all the requirements of the project? Particularly the simple machines and energy transfers? Why or Why not?

We have completed the requirement of having 3 simple machines and are close to achieving the desired time limit of 60 seconds. We are almost done with having all 5 energy transformations but it has been difficult to get all 3 as we have had to think hard about how to successfully get all the energy transfers in the layout of our project.
