Hopper Prototyping

During CRT, we worked with Elizabeth and used LEGO Spike.  We built a Hopper and had to prototype different legs. We built and tested three prototypes.

We used three different types of legs. We decided to change the legs so we could make it go faster and further. Then we tested the Hopper again and it failed to go straight, but instead it went to the right.

For the second prototype, we made the legs longer. When we tested the Hopper, it turned itself upside down, instead of going ford. For our third prototype we made the legs X’s, that made it go in circles.

The best thing about this challenge was building with my friend and trying new designs.

My winter sports

Today for winter sports me and my partner for table tennis lost to another Rawhiti team that was our friends. First we had to walk from school to Rawhiti Domain so we could catch a bus for a short ride to a church. Then we put our bags in the same spot Rawhiti always put there bags in. After we got stuck into the games, then my game was over me and my partner played game and our friends came and played with us. After about 3 hours when we where about leave it started to rain, so when we got off the bus we ran back to school. When we got to school the rain had stopped and in the end we never did price giving, but in stead we went back to our class and did blogs (boring).
