Post 3

I finished creating my track but I had to make it a little different then my original design. I had to add a battery for support to weigh down the sculpture because it kept leaning. I covered the battery with aluminum so that it would not stand out from the rest of the materials used. I also had to make my "drop downs" differently. I placed them in between the frame of the structure instead of having them connected on the outside of the structure so that the track would be more supported and balanced. I did not add a bridge like frame to the track either because I did not want to make my final project outside of the required measurements. I didn't have a design to use for the "finish" so I decided to go with a gated box. I created my final piece into 3 different parts so that it would be easy to transfer it from the class room to home. The 3 pieces are the "drop down," the "spirals" and the "finish" which is the gated box.
