Manila Folder Bridge Design-Build Challange

Josh, Me and Austin were able to put 40 magazines in the bridge we made.

This past week Javi, Matt, and I had the honor to participate in the 4th annual Mousetrap-Racecar race! We learned all about axels, pullies, levers, and the importance of friction before we constructed our rig. After about 2 days of building and 1 full day of testing and iterating our design, we were ready to race! Race day went amazing and althogh we placed second, I was really happy with our design and it made it almost 18 feet! The whole project was super fun and I really enjoyed every part of it! 

BRAINIAC: 

VISUALIZE IT:

BUILD IT:

THE COMPETETOR: We competed in the 2nd annual Mousetrap-Racecar race!

GOING THE MILE: We traveled the 2nd farthest in the distance race! a whopping 18 feet!

FEEDBACK:  += the addition of the wooden sticks to the mousetrap increased our distance and also we did a really good job of rolling the string on our axle so that we had the maximum amount of friction which increased our distance! 

                      change= I definitely would change the frame of our racecar. I think that our frame was a little to heavy and that if we used lighter pieces our cart may have traveled a lot farther.

                       ?= what if we were to attach another axle to the main frame of the racecar and run the string along it? Would this increase the distance?

                         != This project was super fun and I really enjoyed working with my teammates. I honestly feel like we did a really good job and we had a lot of fun doing it, which is the most important part.     

                   

GAME CHANGER: A new awesome rule would be that all the carts have to weigh under 400 g.Or the challenge could be that all carts have to be over 400 g! This challenge would make students think a lot harder about their frame and overall cart structure! 

NAME IT: A possible name change for an achievement could be changing "Led Foot" to "Fast and Furious"

Me and my team got 12 achievements

Our main problem was that we almost ran out of time but we were able to tape the sides with the botom
( Define the Problem and Brainstorm Solutions)
all the  (Criteria & Constraints) were succefully done
We did have many models you can find them next to the proyecor and next to the calendar (Sketch Ideas)
(Prototype Ideas) (Select an Approach)
Surface area!
30 yards *3 roles=90 yards
(Build It!)
Balance Master
The Longest
Feedback
Redesing And more tape to the botom because some water started to get in

For us this was a wondersull experience although some improvements like more time to finish the boats or new criterias would be fun
