A long time ago in a classroom far, far, away seven teenagers were told to do the unimaginable. Create a weight bearing instrument that would have to be under 175g. Buckle up… Yeah, so that was crazy, our little teenage brains were given one of the most complicated and most difficult challenges I’ve ever done. When we first were brainstorming we thought oh yeah this is easy, rig a wooden structure up with some kind of pipe-xylophone system. But we forgot something the weight. UNDER 175g, THATS LESS THAN 40 NICKELS! Anyway back to the calm talk. We, after a great deal of thought went with a simple, yet solid idea. What if we hollow out a 2×4? Well that went well, weighing 21g! Or so we thought… I wasn’t there but at the event there was panic as we found out our machine was not 21g but 221g!
This photo is my team after we found out about our weight mistake, as you can see it was extremely stressful, coming so far in our building only to be told it was wrong.
Aside from the machine we also had to create a presentation. We decided to incorporate the weight bearing into our presentation by using the weight of pressure on one mans shoulders. His name is Arnold. Enjoy.
