Initial Thoughts
Our intended design involves a lot of aesthetically appealing turns, paths and parts. Some parts may make sounds using just the marble and the track. We also want a part of the track where we can rotate a gear resulting in a lifting mechanism or elevator that can lift the marbles back to the top.
Challenges
The challenges we will face will for sure be figuring out how to make a fully functioning gear because we both have never made one. A lot of coordination and communication is required for a project like this. We will constantly need to be checking each others work to see if the parts will match, this usually can result in wasted time if an error happened that carried on to future work. Measurements of parts and figuring out if certain parts work for the track will also be a challenge we will face.
How will you split the work?
Conveniently, we are a group of two so we can split the work in half. We each will be choosing what parts we personally would want to work on which can result in a better work ethic, someone working on what they want to and enjoy will work better.
