Iterative Design: Rules of the Road

These are some things i would change:

-make it so each team, from the spot that there car ended from the first go, can rewind there car and from that spot see how far it can go
-You need to use at least one rubber band in your design and no more than three
-And your car must have at least four tires and no more than 6, with a car length of less than a foot so you could not have a stronger torque than someone with a car thats 2 feet long

Power Point

Nuclear Energy

1. One thing that suprised me with my energy source is that it stands for 6% of the world's energy, when there are about 440 nuclear power plants in the world
2. One thing that suprised me with another persons energy source is that although soalr power is so efficient you would have to use it almost immediately, due to the fact it has trouble being stored, also even though they are you solar panels, they said that you are giving some of your energy to sdg&e to supplement other people houses energy
3. I believe that the most important technological need is the sun's energy, of course we all know that without the sun the whole world would end due to the fact that everything would die, and it would be a cold dark place without it.

Cardboard Canoe

Cardboard Canoe

Total Achievements: 13

Design Achievements:
"Define and Brainstorm"
-Our originial Idea was to have a hexagonal sitting area with two triangular cardboar cut-outs placed in the front and back
"Criteria":
-It must float at least one person from our team

"Contraints":
-We must only use cardboard and duct tape
-Must have a 3" side wall
-All outer parts of the boat must be covered in duct tape (as shown below)

"Sketch Ideas"

"Prototype Ideas"
Build Achievements:
"Build It"
"Early Bird Gets the Achievement"
Team Achievements:
"The Farthest"
"The Longest"
"Videographer"
Reflection Achievements:
"Redesign":
-For our redesign, i think i would want to try out our first design, and see how it goes

"Make Your Own Achievement":
- Each team has to make their own paddle and only use that to propel themselves in one race

Feedback":

Things Needed For Improvement:

-We needed to have stronger sides

-A much better paddle

-Better connections on the joints

-Both the front and back could have been the same size
-More power behind the boat
Things We Did Well:
-Very water tight
-Moved well through the water

-Layering of the duct tape

As you can see even after our boat traveled to the other side of the pool and back, twice, it still didn't take in that much water
