Build a complex machine that does a very simple task. The machine must have a pendulum, a spiral, and a gravity assist.
This project was pretty straight forward. we started with a sketch and jumped right into building. The hardest part of the project was the spiral. We couldn't find anything that was already in a spiral that would work. We had to make our own and the first one we made just didn't work. We ended up making a spiral out of cardboard as you can see in the picture to the left. In total we have 7 steps that all lead up to a pair of scissors cutting a rubber band. I used the collaboration transferable skill by working with my group member.
