In order to be able to meet the design brief, we needed to develop our knowledge of technical explanations of mechanisms - focusing on pulleys. Once we learnt all about what a pulley is, we had a go at developing our practical knowledge by making some different examples. Finally, after looking at some existing designs in order to gain inspiration, we were able begin the design process. There was a lot of chance in this process to 'Think, Make, Break, Repeat' and we were constantly evaluating our design to see how to improve it and make it work. We were VERY proud of ourselves when we were able to make a smooth, working pulley system.
