From the initial program you create a subprogram by putting it through the variable branch function which allows you to put the new subprogram into the main program.

Project 3.1.7 Machine Design

In this activity we were given insructions to design an efficient way to record times of a track race. The design was suppose to start the time when the first sensor was tripped and was supposed to stop the clock and buzz when the second sensor was tripped.

In my group was Kody, Nick, and I. We all put in our effort and did our part to build the most efficient contraption. Nick definately did the most work. We all help design and build the contraption. We all had a hand in the programming process and we all had equal effort building it. But Nick was definately the mvp, he had the biggest impact on the making of the desgin.








Conclusion:
1. The hardest part of creating it wasd definately the programming. It took awhile before we had the programming completely right and the machine worked the way we wanted and needed it to. The other parts were challenging to get right but this step was definately the hardest and most frustrating.
2. We had a lot of problems with flowcharting, so something to help with that would been very helpful. I cant think of anything else other than that,

Activity 3.1.2 Flowchart




Conclusion Questions




1, Flowchrting is similar to using a map r plan of route during a trip in that it outlines the basic step of the process of getting from point a to point b. It illustrates the steps you need to get in an easy to read fashion.




2. Every day I wake up and go to school. I spend about 6 hours in school each day. After school i go to trck practice. When I'm done with that i come home do homework, eat dinner, hang out and then go to bed.
