Day 3
Team: Joel and Scott... and Bekah!!!
Country: Spain
Fortunately we were able to start building today after not being able to build last lab. But even though we lost the chance to start building that day, Joel and I accepted Rebekah onto our team to help! Today was very important because it was imperative to get our catching apparatus built and tested a few time. So as soon we got into class we started building. Going off of the design that I has sketched up a few says prior we made great progress making the catching device.
Although I used the same concept of the second design to complete the final product there are key changes that were made to make the catcher more successful. These changes include the base... We thought that if we made the base able to bounce up and down that it would be effective in absorbing energy. The other changes include the taped outside to stop the egg from going out of the catching apparatus on its decent to the bottom. Not only were we successful in building our catcher we also got the chance to drop a few eggs in it! Check it out:
