Construction Problems • Ball- mass and movement • Limited material • Lots if moveable parts • Seesaws • Solutions • Ball-lacrosse ball and half a can of Coke Zero • Got wood and light • Taped down parts held others down with weight • Balanced seesaws and rigged it so material stayed on
Conclusion Material • Book, hanger, and scraps of material: Free • Light: $3.00 • Flying Elephant: $2.00 • More Wood: $3.00 Turning on a light by throwing a book down. Priceless
