Video 4: The ultimate fail...
We've been having minor tweaks to take care of, and every time we fixed something, another thing would go wrong. So unfortunately, we don't have a success video (so far).
As a whole, the setup looks awesome! It seems that if everything works as it should, it'll be a really cool group RG! Keep working on it! I'm sure with a few tweaks you guys can make it happen!
ReplyDeleteThanks! We're trying really hard to get it perfect
DeleteReally like all of the solar panels, how much voltage do they output in the lab?
ReplyDeleteGood question. We don't know; will measure it later.
DeleteSo many fail videos, does your team have the worst luck or what? It all looks like minor issues though, I doubt they will be too much trouble for you to fix before the demo.

Pretty sure it's just bad luck lately.
DeleteIt looks like the toy car is giving you troubles. I hope it works tomorrow. Maybe try putting the car closer to the balloon to begin with so it has less time to fail.
ReplyDeleteMay try that out tomorrow for a quick test run. But we found that having the motor facing a certain direction winds up the string better and the car is then pulled faster.
DeleteI really liked the pirate flag being raised which causes the car to run into the balloon and have it pop. Very piratey!
ReplyDeleteI like that you guys all had a similar theme of using the solar panels while still having diverse enough motor systems and mechanical parts of the Rube Goldberg. Well done. Did it end up working for the demos? I couldn't see your section.
