DOME TESTING!!!!!!
carrying the dome.. we have placed the base at the testing site (old swimming pool) few days before..
we are the 8th team.... carrying our shuttle island into the pool
Pei cheen the first to enter....
followed by aida and last one me...
its floating!!!!
wan b asked we to stand up... but our dome too low.
switch position...
terbalik @@ alamak!
our dome can be consider to be successful i think. because, it can accommodate the 3 of us and it floats. however, when it hit obstacle, it loss its balance if we don't know how to control the raft. we need to work together to get the raft to be stable . working alone will not help anything at all.
bamboo alone has its float ability. however, its not enough to support human if its placed far apart. if the bamboo is placed as close as possible to each other... it definitely will float and are very stable too.
there's lots of things that can be use as floats. however, the most effective way would be the tyres. the problem with tyre is that we might get puncture tyre. when its puncture, tyre will be able to support the raft anymore.
the base should not be too small as well. it limits the movement of human. we done our base pretty small. 150x150cm only. its rather hard for us to move around.
whatever the outcome is, we've done our best. its a great experience as all of us never build 1 before.
