We are making progress!
We are building a roller coaster. Our main theme is movies. we will be decorating our roller coaster with many famous movie characters around it. My froup consists of two of my fellow classmates, Amani and Anneloes. We started this project around a week and a half ago, and till date, our progress has been pretty good. We have the base of the roller coaster done, we are now testing our first loop and it seems to be pretty successful. Our project is moving in the right direction but I think that we are moving a bit slower. Our pace is not what it should be. Few or the groups have started to move to their second loop/variation in track and we are still on our first one. We need to work double the speed of which we are currently working or else it will be hard for us to meet the deadline of the project.
My vision for the project is that it will turn out to become a decorative roller coaster (as we are decoration it side by side) and it will be a pretty fun one as we are trying to include as many possible vacations in energy as we can.
One of our many problems was that how are we going to have a strong first base of the roller coaster and so we used two hard cardboard tubes and they gave us a strong base but the problem there was that we had added a lot of tape to the tube and it was looking really untidy, so we had to take off the tube from where it was, remove all the tape and then first, to make it look good we covered it all in black paper, but that was not the end of our problem, our second tube was really lose and would continuously fall apart from our main tube, which really delayed us as we spent some time on figuring out how to fix the tubes together, this did not allow us to complete what we had scheduled for class.
For the next class we hope to complete the first corkscrew loop and then move to our second loop which will include a big downward slope and a series of loops followed by it.
Our current progress. Our sketch.
