We will make more signs for the bottles.
We finished cutting and painting the bottle signs. Our game is called Defeat Failure. It's two boxes stacked on top of each other. On the top box, there is a shelf in the middle and there are two rows of plastic water bottles lined up. The object of the game is to throw a ball and knock over the bottles that say "failure" on them. The bottom shelf has four holes that are labeled with different types of candy. If you knock down a "failure" bottle, then you take the ball and put it through the hole of which type of candy you want. Someone will be sitting behind the box and the will dispense the appropriate candy through the hole.
The most satisfying part was when we got the shelf done and sturdy because that was the most difficult element of the game engineering-wise. Today we will make the sign
We made half the sign Goal for today is to attach the boxes.
We attat Our gaol today is to paint one line and then figure out a way to connect the boxes.
We finished painting. The goal for today is to finish or get close to finishing painting the candy dispenser.
We basically finished painting except for one line. The goal today is to start painting the candy dispenser.
We started painting the candy dispenser. 1) What has you group worked on so far?
We cut off the fronts of two boxes. One of the boxes is the candy dispenser and the other is to put the bottles on. On the candy dispenser box, we cut four holes in the back for 4 different types of candy to come out. On the other box, we made a shelf to that there can be a bottom and top row of bottles lined up. We also made little pillar-type things sticking out to support the front of the shelf. We also started working on the art aspect of the candy dispenser and a support for the two boxes once they are stacked on top of each other. 2) What are some challenges your group faced? Our biggest challenges was probably just figuring out a way for the shelf to be sturdy and supported. We might also have trouble with having the boxes be sturdy once they are stacked. 3) How did you overcome these challenges? We combined two people's good ideas to make an even better way to support the shelf. 4) What is the next step for your group? We have the design for the candy dispenser but we still have to paint it. We also have to figure out a way to have the boxes not fall over. 5) What are your favorite parts about working on this project so far? It's cool to see your ideas actually come to life. Also it's satisfying when we tried a few ideas that didn't work and then it finally turns out right. 6) What are the parts that have been the most difficult? The most difficult parts were probably figuring out ways to build each part so that it would be durable. |
