Maglev Train day 2

On day 2 for the maglev trains it was a hard day and I will tell you why. We were so close from making the train go all the way passed the manila track it has to go both ways and my group only got it to go one way. The other groups got it so they could try to put as many marbles on the train as they could. The being an engineer is very hard and it is so frusterating. You could easily lose your temper like I did. We tried new ideas we had to take the magnets of we used almost I whole piece of tape we had to tape it again it We had to use large pieces of tape. We had lot’s of fails and lot’s of successes but mostly fails. If you be an engineer it is so hard but i am not saying you should not be an engineer it is just that it is so hard. From our fails we learned that we should not use ring magnets and bar magnets that we should use strip magnets before we tried the train my group always thought that we should not use strip magnets. The engineering was very hard and frusterating and hard but the good thing was that it was very fun and that is all I care about all I care about is having fun and being an engineer was very fun. There were so many magnets to chose from my group had no idea what to chose. At the start of being an engineer we used lot’s of ring magnets and bar magnets but then we are thinking you only need 2 or 3 strip magnets on the track and 3 strip magnets on the train. Here is a picture of my group.
