Summary:
The last project of the year was the quickest but most fun project. Our goal this time was to pick a project that we did this year and make it better, whether it be making it look nicer or make up something new and improved. My group decided to redo the Rube Goldberg Machine, which is a very complex machine with lots of steps that does a simple task. For our project we decided not make it to complex, but we instead focused on quality and it working more than making it fancy. Our project had two different sections. It had a left side that then triggered the left side. The right side then triggered an Arduino which played Indiana Jones "Raiders March." An Arduino set is a board that gets codes from a computer that makes and produces different things or sounds (read my last project in robotics). Our project's theme was Indiana Jones because the ball symbolized the boulder that Indy was trying to run away from. Here is our slideshow showing our presentation in depth. Terms and vocabulary we used in the project are on slides eight and nine.

Reflection:
This Project was my favorite project. I was with all of my friends but we were still on task and hardworking at the same time, so that was good. We always tried to have a game plan set so that no one was fooling around. That was one of the big reasons why we were so productive. We also split the work so that a couple people were working on different things so that barely any time was wasted. We built everything in eight days. We had nine days plus more to work on it last time we did this project. The two things that I did very well on was work ethic and teamwork. I got a lot done and helped all of my teammates out. The one thing I need to work on is leadership. I need to take charge more and take control of situations. Over all, i love building a creating things so this was the best project for me. I love just building something from scratch and seeing what it will turn into.
