Design ● Design a functional ping pong launcher and target that will work as a game
Statement for a carnival and will be fun to play.
Criteria 1. The target game board must be three-dimensional and include a hole.
2. The grand prize target hole must allow a 1.5” x 1.5” x 0.5” beanbag to fall
How are the through.
listed criteria 3. Beanbags that fall through a hole should be easy to retrieve by the game
measurable? attendant in less than 30 seconds.
4. At least 3 percent, but no more than 5 percent, of all launches should result
in a grand prize winner.
5. Your game should be safe to play for all users.
1. Are all established project criteria met? 2 0
2. Are all established project constraints met? 2 1 0
3. Is the concept/theme appropriate? – Will the target client(s), 2 1 0
consumer(s), and/or user(s) approve? (Is it creative/original…?)
4. Is the presentation/project completed with the utmost 2 1 0
attention paid to overall organization, understanding and professionalism?
5. Is the physical project completed with the utmost 2 1 0
attention paid to durability, quality and craftsmanship?
Total =85/100%
Final Score = Advanced, Proficient, Average, Needs Improvement, or Incomplete??? Why?
We did good things on the project but we could of done a better job on meeting constraints and having
our project look good.

1. How did previous work iterating your launch device impact your design decisions?
○ Previous work iterating our launch device impacted our design decisions because since
we knew where our launch device launched most of the time we could figure out where
to put our target.
2. How do models (graphical, physical, mathematical) play an important role in the engineering
design process?
○ Models play an important role in the engineering design process because when you
have a model you can see for example the data you collected and it will help make you
understand better.
3. Describe how you managed your time on this project. Did you use time effectively? What might
you do differently on the next project?
○ I think we managed our time well on this project, though we could have done it way
better. What we will do differently next project is to use our time more wisely and try to
stay ahead of things.
