Twist It Up Challenge

                       Twist It Up Challenge
      
   The twist it up challenge for me was a success. It took a couple tries for it to work but it worked. I could've changed it and improved it in a lot of ways. 

    First off, supports. My supports were a big downfall of my project. They needed to be bigger and thicker. Also I needed more supports. For example my big supports needed smaller supports and sometimes those small supports needed smaller supports. Another one of its fails were its height. I coculdve made it way taller and I'm pretty sure it would work way better. It could have gained more speed which would be a guarenteed success. The final change I would have done it too add more turns to gain more points. I only had a total of one turn and it killed a lot of the speed at the beginning. 

      So overall I consider my project a fifty-fifty, half success half failed. I could've done more in less time but i wads to worried about doing my theme at the same time of the construction.

Ramp It Up Challenge Reflection

         Ramp It up Challenge Reflection        

     The ramp it up challenge was a bigger success than the paper bridge challenge to me. I think teamwork and hardwork was put more into this project. I liked working with my team and I like the ideas that they came up with it. I like the way my team worked on different sections. Also I kind of liked how the project ended because we knew we at least tried to do something with it.

 There was a couple things I didn't like though. Like for the fact that one of my teammates got distracted very easily. Also the amount of resources we coolected were unnnecesary. I also didn't like how we didn't follow the measurements. Plus a teammate did steal things from other groupps without permission that we did not need.

   But in the end I think this project was a bigger step-up than last time. I consider this a success and that my team did good.
