Assignment 2a: Strategy
Purpose
The 2156 project I chose is a pool table that racks the pool ball and queue stick by itself. The purpose for this project is due to the sudden interest in pool that I had picked up in Hawthorne freshmen year. I thought it was satisfying racking up the balls but then it reminded me of how bowling pins are racked. I would like to take on the challenge of racking up the pool balls
Requirements
The only requirement I can think of is to have pool balls that stay teh same weight and keep its sphereical form to repeat the same calculations of their movements when trying to restack.
Assumptions
My assumption is that this project will be extremely costy for minimal work done which is why I was thinking that this could be used for luxurious casinos or events where people spend money for unneccesary luxrious things.
Gantt Chart
Multiple Solutions
A solution I had in mind were magnets attached to the top of a hanged metal platform that would sweep downa finished pool table where all the balls would be out and the platform would lower and collect the pool balls in the triangle mold and then release at a designated spot once it is done.
Another solution was the use of gravity. The pool balls would be scattered across the table and the pool table would lower the back two legs by less than a degree but enough for all the pool balls to slide and hit the back wall and at the back wall there will be two sticks pointed inwards towards the pool so the balls would form the triangle pattern when hitting the wall and after all the balls are put in place then the sticks would disappear and the front table legs would lower to a fraction of a degree but enough for the balls to all be rolling down extremely slow to keep its form. The front legs would straighen and due to inertia, the balls will slow down and eventually be calculated to stop at the marked spot where the pool balls need to be placed in formation of the triangle.
Lessions Learned
Lessions learned include Gantt Charts, not procrastinating projects, checking due dates on calendar more often, formating in code
I also learned how to time manage better using the gantt chart as it would make my work habits more efficieint and not put things off til the last minute. also made me learn how lazy inventions can be yet it could make so much money because the rich have the money for useless and lazy innovations.
Activities Date & Times
Everything was done last minute only a couple hours before the assignment was due for 5 hours
Comments to each advisee
Aditya Singh:Gantt Chart and everything seem great although I would like to see something on the alternative Solutions since he has alternative strategies!
