Design project-day 3

Choose
- We thought are game was for 8-10 year olds so we wanted to make this game challenging for the kids so that they wouldn't get bored. The game had to be fun, fast, challenging, and had to have prices. Yes they do match are game because we used that as a guide. It wasn't stable enough to hold everything up, the layers weren't connected well. By having a more accurate sketch that helps us guide in the building of are game.
Build Plan:
Get materials 
- Get wood (willy) and do the sketch mathias sends on it
- Get springs for base (mathias)
- silicon gun (ana)
- tubes (mathias)
- carb board box (ana)
- Connect and talk about what we will do on the wood a box 
- Start with the base 
- Create the labyrinth 
- Add a way for the marble to go back so the person gets it again if the ball falls 
- Put the springs on add everything on "details"
- Try it and if fails repair

My drawing-
-weakness: to complicated to make
-strength: it shows the inside and the outside of the labyrinth

Mathias' drawing-
-weakness: shows only one part of the labyrinth
-strength- its easy to make, and is a challenge for the player
Ana Maria's drawing 
-weakness: to difficult to play
-strength- very detailed

What needs to be added
-the outside part how the finish product will look like

Details that  will be added

this is a labyrinth which you use by to axis, you have to put in a marble and guided threw the maze avoiding the falls or pits. You can take the maze out to put in a different difficulty  

We will do a labyrinth which will have two floors with axis handles to move it to avoid the wholes, when getting to the end of the first floor then you go in the whole and it takes the marble to the second floor

We could also do to labyrinths beside each other so that it's a race against some one else.
