Slide and Ramp

Mara Gualtieri-Horowitz

For our project, we created a large slide with a ramp. Our original sketch also included a pulley system, but due to time constraints, we took it out. We wanted to build this because it included all of our ideas. Unfortunately, our project did not work, as the ramp was too big and the slide was too low down. It was difficult trying to get the donut up the ramp because it got stuck at the low point. This made the time much longer than other groups, as one of our fastest times was 6 seconds. This project will help us in the future because we learned more about how different objects affect motion and how to make movement a more integral part of the design.
