Weekly Progress Report 11/30 - 12/6

Progress:
-  This past week we worked on the physics problems given to us by Mr. Lin. They wound up being more complicated than we originally thought, but we've made significant headway, now being halfway done with them. They didn't require anything too complex, but the challenge was figuring out what we needed to use to solve each part. Solving these problems and more like them will gradually build up to doing the math behind the real life situation (a drone defense system).
Problem:
- Our problem this past week has been with the 3-D problems. We had finished one of the two 3-D problems only to later learn after reviewing it that none of our work really made sense. We're finding it hard to decipher the diagrams for the 3-D pictures as far as where each axis is pointing. We need Mr. Lin to explain this to us tomorrow. Unfortunately we are currently behind our scheduled plan for completing these problems.
Plan:

- This week we hope to have Mr. Lin approve the two problem we've already done, as well as help us understand the 3-D ones so we can complete those as well. Once those are done, we plan to go to the next level with solving these problems, whether that's adding elements like air resistance or combining the situations to include a full interception device (a camera and launcher).
