Friday March 23rd

Today we finally decided to put some of our creative and innovative ideas into action. The first idea that we tried was the helicopter that Matthew brought in from a toy store. We had a vague plan for using the helicopter to carry a string or some part of the device up to the top of the simulated crater. Messing around with the helicopter proved to be the most interesting part of the meeting as well as the most fun until somebody got it stuck on the roof and we had to get it down. In the end we decided against using the helicopter in any part of the device simply because it was too hard to control. We were afraid we wouldn't be able to control it and keep it straight. It sure was fun to fly it around though.......
