Marble Drop

For my marble drop project I worked with Lauren. Our theme was boys vs. Girls the top was the boyish half and the bottom was the girly half, which we enjoyed much more! At the start of this project we had a guy in our group and since we all had VERY separate ideas so we decided to break it down the middle and compromise.He ended up splitting from our group but we decided it was still a cute idea and that we wanted to go with it. The most difficult thing about this project was the unknown problems that would pop up. You have to constantly test to see if the marble is going to cooperate with you or it its going to decide to fly out of the marble drop half way through, definitely a challenge. Our project has a variety of different tracks it starts in a metal coil tube goes down cardboard tubes through the crown down the shoes across the ramps and ends up in the bottom platform, we created all the tracks. If I could change anything about this piece I would just add more detail and features I would also make it so that the marble travels the entire thing slower it goes a little fast. I'm most proud of the overall look of the piece I think  it turned out great.
