Sling Machine

This is Ganesh and my fling machine. It blew the cotton ball into two bits, and the farthest bit went 35 inches. It is a pipe cleaner run through a straw, and bent at the ends. There was some foil at the end before. Earlier models could fling the cotton farther, but the materials were weak so the slingshot fell apart.

If I could alter the design, I would first use something other than the pipe cleaner to provide support for the rubber band, because the pipe cleaner bent a lot. If i could, i would just use solid poles and attach them to the desk and forego the straw as a whole. I should also learn how to actually use a slingshot. :D Our team is impeccable, so no change there. I feel other teams sufficiently solved the problem.

Unit Conversion Review

This project was really, REALLY fun. We had so much freedom to do as we pleased and weren't restricted by over-serious attitudes like in other classes. So we had a lot of fun doing this "MLG Theme" with the "XxX" and other stuff. We also learned a lot from the presentations like the video done by Sasha and the "Communist" theme done by Alvin. We memorized unit conversions, formulas, and unit prefixes. We also flashed back to middle school with that horrendous song. This project was DEFINITELY worth it.

Our project would have had more gifs of two frogs, but it made the presentation flicker so much, we would have given some one epilepsy or a seizure in a dark room. I also want to commend Austyn for making the game in one night, and so we were unique, as we actually had a video game. Every other group had a simple verbal game. I regret that we didn't have candy, and none of us thought about it. But again, I loved this project.
