Testing our design was so annoying!! Especially when we tested small parts of it at a time but it just doesn’t work when we put it all together. Most of the time when we failed on it, we were putting the dominos back up, we accidentally knocked them over and the hole thing worked!! We got to take 50 and We were getting pretty angry. But we tried to push through it. One of are ideas was to cut a string, how would we do that? So we thought and someone said, “we can get a knife to come swing Down and cut the string.” Then we came up with the idea of using a flamethrower. We knew that wasn’t happening.
Towards the end we realized we were having trouble with having the dominos turning. So we took a picture and we saw if it worked or not, if it worked, we would try our best to replicate it. I think that was really smart for us to do this because before we were kind of just guessing on where they went and that is why it wasn’t working. We also had a ball falling down a hoop, that ball would roll and hit some blocks but the ball would sometimes roll anywhere, so we just had it right when it came down it hit the blocks. Also when a ball rolled down a pvc pipe but we called it (a Didgeridoo), the ball had to much speed to hit dominos so we had it hit a golf ball. After so many tries and so many little tweaks we finally got it!
