3. Dec. 12Team Whitey3 Introduction e Create P.F.A.D.S. e Compete against other P.F.A.D.S. e Must follow given constraints

4. Dec. 12Team Whitey4 Constraints 4 18”x 18”x 18” 4 No more than 10 pounds 4 Less than $20

5. Dec. 12Team Whitey5 Criteria 4 Minimize weight 4 Maximize accuracy 4 Minimize volume 4 Rolls/slides straight

6. Dec. 12Team Whitey6 Objectives 4 Practice the design process 4 Learn about projectile motion 4 Work as a team

7. Dec. 12Team Whitey7 Preliminary Ideas 4 Rubber Band 4 Flexible Steel 4 Mousetrap

8. Dec. 12Team Whitey8 Rubber Band

9. Dec. 12Team Whitey9 Flexible Steel

10. Dec. 12Team Whitey10 Mousetrap

11. Dec. 12Team Whitey11 Refinement 4 Flexible steel not accurate 4 Rubber band not powerful 4 Mousetrap idea best fit 4 Spring loaded catapult

12. Dec. 12Team Whitey12 Spring Design

13. Dec. 12Team Whitey13 Implementation 4 Decided on mousetrap 4 Mousetrap failed, changed to springs for more power.

14. Dec. 12Team Whitey14 Final Design

15. Dec. 12Team Whitey15 Construction 4 Listed parts needed and bought them. 4 Used Tool from Toby’s Room 4 Made working design

16. Dec. 12Team Whitey16 Testing 4 Mousetrap idea was too weak 4 Went back to decision process 4 Decided on a stronger spring design

17. Dec. 12Team Whitey17 Final Mechanism 4 Slides on boards 4 Spring powered 4 Pulley triggered 4 Weight

18. Dec. 12Team Whitey18 Picture Of Final Design

19. Dec. 12Team Whitey19 Results 4 Trigger Mechanism did not work in competition. 4 Resulted in embarrassment and no score. 4 Advantages 4 Disadvantages

20. Dec. 12Team Whitey20 Recommendations 4 Mousetrap is not powerful enough 4 Wood and metal 4 Add better mechanism for rolling straight.

21. Dec. 12Team Whitey21 Conclusions 4 Need a better design 4 Needed more testing before competition. 4 Needed more reliable materials.
