Tennis Ball Game


our challenge was to create a fast, efficient way to get a tennis ball through the hands of each person in our group before the other team. the tennis ball had to touch each persons hand, at first it could be simultaneously, then it had to be one at a time. we had to do this in a fast, efficient way because another team was trying to do the same thing and beat us.

our team came up with a few plans, but our end plan was by far the most efficient. it invovlved creating a tube slide for the ball with our hands. we used both our hands and created a circle in which the ball could travel through. we put spaces in between our hands so as to ensure that the ball did not touch any two peoples hands simultaneously. the execution of plan, in my opinion, could have gone better, but overall it went pretty well, after all we won the challenge, we had a faster time than the other team.

in the future i would keep the same basic idea for the plan, have a tube slide for the ball made with our hands. however, differently i would make sure the spaces bettween our hands are a constant efficient distance, so the distance between our hands is not too close that the ball touches two peoples hands simultaneously but not far enough away that the ball will fall through the space. aslo i would make sure our hands our lined up perfectly, so that the ball can travel through our hands as fast as possible.
