Practical 4

Welcome to Practical 4 Blog

For this week's practical, the group made use of the cardboard joinery knowledge taught in practical 3 into usage. The group was tasked to create a small game using cardboard as the main material. After some discussion as a group, we decided to go with the 4-player pucket game.

For the 4-player pucket game the group mainly makes use of a few joineries which include the flange, score and bend and lastly layering for the puckets itself. As for the shooting mechanism the group decided to use a thicker rubber band with a wider width so that the pucket would have enough force to shoot across to the opposing side.

As this is a 4-player pucket game, the group decided to make a spinning goal in the middle such that shooting a pucket to another person is more unpredictable and makes it more fun this way. Below are some of the pictures taken when making the game.

If you do not understand the mechanism still, do not worry as we have prepared a short clip to bring you through how the game is like when played. Enjoy!
