+ | *We started with making a frame to hold the wheel and motor, so it was more reliable(and safer)than just holding it in our hands. | ||
+ | *Then we cut a slit out of the PVC pipe that the wheel would fit in. | ||
+ | *We accidentally put the wheel at the wrong height and had to redo a lot of work. We learned to measure before building. | ||
+ | *We finally got a chance to shot the ball. It definitally seemed to be fast enough to make it into the tallest goal. It was really cool to watch! | ||
