Oddessy of Mind October 31 Meeting
These were arvind's notes:
Attendees: Arvind Rohan Amit Tanmay
Prashant Gulshan

1. We decide to use Amit's gallon of water idea. A gallon container of
water releases water onto a tube/pipe and a small "ball" is placed at
the bottom of the tube/pipe. The water flows thru a piston to increase
force.

2. We decided to eliminate dominoes from the equation.

3. Gulshan arrives very late (30 mins.) and brings snacks.

4. Rohan suggests we make a small hole which the ball would fall into.
The water would flood the hole, and the ball would float. The problem
is that the ball would have to float. Also it would affect the piston.

5. We thought about using something else instead of dominoes. We can't
use levers because it would take a long time to set up. We considered
using a pit with a spring. If we use a spring it will be too
complicated and it would lose a lot of momentum.

6. We considered using a see-saw.

7. A game boy idea distracts tahr team.

8. Arvind proposes a great idea. A ball falls down a ramp and moves a
big ball. We decide to this idea.

We did blue prints
Next meeting at 4:00/11-14-10
