O ti l R i tOperational RequirementsIn addition to the minimum set of features, your coaster should
also meet the following requirements:• Your roller coaster design must use the full 25 feet of track• Roller coaster track must fit on the lab table top, inside a space that
i 5’ l 4’ idis 5’ long, 4’ wide• The ball must fall into the safety catch bin constructed using
cardboard sheet

P j t N t b kProject NotebookThe purpose of the project notebook is to document all work
fundertaken by the team during the course of the semester. • Project notebook contains all information required for implementation of the project, in a sequential fashion.
Th j t t b k i th 50 i t• The project notebook is worth 50 points.
Project notebooks will be checked on a weekly basis in the b ildi ibuilding sessions
Final submission of Project Notebook within the first five minutes f th O l P t ti i A l t b i i bj tof the Oral Presentation session. Any late submissions are subject
to a 30% deduction (50 x 0.3 ≈ 15 points).

T ti f th R ll C tTesting of the Roller Coaster• The team will not be graded on the basis of the preliminary test • The team will be graded on the basis of the final test
Scoring for the Final System Test• Each team has up to three trials
• Best score out of the three trials will be selectedBest score out of the three trials will be selected• Each trial consists of three consecutive runs of the ball along the track.
