The Swinging Machine is a robot that swings sideways and swings over itself to move forward. Our first prototype model was made out of cardboard so we could get a sense on what we were making. Our second prototype was made out of wood, and we attached servos to them, so we could test if the robot actually worked. We also changed our hand design. Instead of using electomagnets, we designed a clamp design. We originally decided that we wanted to make our final project out of acrylic but the acrylic kept on braking. We made a few adjustments, and eventually decided to make the Swinging Machine out of wood instead of acrylic.

We made a rocket and it flew 27 feet. We won the competition and our rocket flew the highest. Also, we had a very good design. If I could make anything better, I would use tape instead of Hot Glue, because the bottle would warp if we used it.

1. How can you make a model glider fly well?

2. What is the best way to create a hovercraft?

3. What is the best way to make a glider far really really far.?

4. What is the rocket equation?

5. How does a liquid fuel engine work in a rocket?

My hovercraft was way to heavy because the bottom disc was to big and to heavy. It was also made of wood.

Ray, I finished, so you don't have to add the holes in the CD and stuff.
