Tech 6 - Successes and Failures

Please share with us your successes and failures with your project thus far in the lab

Marcus and I have had many successes and failures.

Successes

• We came up with a good idea and plan
• We made lots of progress so far
• We're about one fourth of the way there

Failures

• Our original plan had to be changed
• The original plan required a spring but the lab didn't have one so Mr Diebley showed us how we could use rubber bands instead
• We made lots of drilling mistakes 
• So there are lots of random holes in our project

What have you learned about yourself so far in the building process in the lab?
I learned how I actually can use machines like the sanding machine and the drill. I never knew that I could use these machines because I never needed to and got to.

Do you feel you have enough resources available to you in the lab to build your project?
Yes and no. Yes because we have enough resources for our revised plan (rubber bands instead of a spring) and no because we didn't have enough resources to build our original plan (where we use a spring to launch the ping pong).
