a) The changes my group adapted to from our original design was almost our whole thing. When we begun building, our original outline became too complex so we had to compromise. Examples of changes we had to make from the original design was taking our idea of a weight turning a fan on. We could not make it work so we decided to figure out something else to use.
b) Other major problem we ran into was organization, people in our group being in different physics periods, and time management. However, organization fell into people being in different periods. This was stressful because three of us had the same period so we could work together while one of us had to work alone. With the schedules working out like that, it made it hard to explain to the person by themselves what they should do.
c) Besides energy transfers and simple machines, two other physics concepts we had present in our project were velocity and speed. These go hand in hand together. As the golf ball for instance got pushed down a ramp, the speed went up and so did the velocity. Also, when our water bottle hit the light shooting up the weight to hit a ramp, the velocity was high enough to turn on the light.
