A) Do you anticipate being successful in your testing? Why or
Why not?
My group and I do anticipate being successful on our testing day because of the numerous times we have tested it and refined our design to avoid all possible errors when it comes to test time. Although we are still having a small problem getting our pulley system working constitently, I am confident that we will get it to where it works at least 8 times out of 10 by test day.
B) How has each group member specifically contributed since Wednesday?
Since Wednesday, all group members take part in building the second marble track, mouse trap system, and golf ball track, and building the catapult to launch the golf ball as well as refining and building precautionary fences on part of the machine while testing to avoid any possible error on test day. For example, we out a barrier around the funnel we were using because sometime the marble would carry to much speed into it and slide out but with the barrier, no error occurs on that part of the machine.
C) Have you filled out all the requirements of the project? Particularly the simple machines and energy transfers? Why or Why not?
We currently have fulfilled most of the requirements for the project. We have completeled and corporates all of the three simple machines we will use. Well, expect for the catapult/lever, but we have already built it and now we just need to encorporate it. We have not yet completed all five of the required energy transfers. We currently have three of the five required energy transfers encorporated in out machine. By the time we complete the final part of the machine and launch the golf ball, we will have added our final two energy transfers to our project.
