Blog Design Process-1st Entry- Matt Fothergill and Joe DeMaio- Period 2

We have put a lot of thought and work into our balloon car so far. At first, we tried using Gatorade caps as our wheels and learned that we had a problem with the caps turning and getting them going. We met for the first time over Thanksgiving Break at Matt's house to discuss some ideas and get a basic outline done. After 2 hours of work, we realized that our car didn't move and started all over again. After a couple days of us thinking about what we should do next, at the full work period Joe and I learned that we were going to use CD's as our wheels. After we came to this plan, we talked to a Sophomore, Dan Bentall, on his Balloon Car project last year, he suggested the CD's were a good idea and mass is the key. We have spent no money up to this point and plan on not having to, we think we have all the supplies we need. Joe and I met for the second time on Thursday, December 1st and had a really productive meeting and at the end we were pleased on how our car was moving and the speed it was rolling at. We both offered good ideas and at different times were the command of language while we were discussing and thinking about how we can make our car the best it can possibly be. The video was taken on December 1st, right at the end of our work meeting in which we thought our car became very good.
