Terence Submarine Blog

In class today. I think we worked pretty well together on smash day as a group. My group included Vincent and Jacob. I think we worked very well together. At first, we all spilled our ideas out, and started to cancel the absurd ideas. We did run into a little trouble thought cause we all had ideas. So then we decided we needed to have a base. We had to construct a periscope that would allow us to see everything in the box in a shortest amount of time. So we ruled out ideas that involved reflecting on two mirrors and the technical things. We concluded that to be the fastest group, we needed to have all 3 members to be able to look at once, instead of having just one person look. With the materials that we had, we were able to construct 3 "sticks" that were flexible and strong enough to hold the mirrors at a certain angle and not bend. In the end, our idea turned out successful.
