11月16日,小栗子们的滑翔机迎来了他们最终的挑战。部分同学早早的来到三食堂三楼布置场地或是再次调整他们的滑翔机。
在比赛正式开始之前,为了保证比赛现场的秩序,Dr.Brian首先给大家介绍的比赛规则。每一个小组都有三次发射滑翔机的机会,以最高分为最终成绩。为了提高比赛进行的效率,比赛现场一共有三台发射器。
每次都能看到三台滑翔机,想想都激动呢。与此同时,每一个小栗子都在给自己的滑翔机做着最终的调试,生怕漏掉什么细节没有发现,而影响最终的比赛结果。
最后的调试
冲呀!飞行吧!
在第一次飞行过后,很多小栗子们都发现自己滑翔机的不足,有的刚没飞出几米就降落了,说明机头太轻了。增加机头部件里钢珠的数量,来让自己的滑翔机保持平衡,果然在第二次飞行当中,他们的滑翔机取得了更加优异的成绩。
也很多小组的滑翔机在降落的过程中,不慎将机翼损毁,小栗子们脸上写满了失望,但是却有一个小组,他们却将断了的机翼加以改装,又组装成了一个新的滑翔机,真的是创意无限啊。
当我们在比赛的时候,老师们也在认真负责地为大家记录成绩。
比赛结束之后,通过将各个小组的成绩进行汇总分析。杜秋辰小组设计的滑翔机脱颖而出,成为此次比赛的优胜者。
冠军组专访
Q=交大栗子A=冠军组
Q:您好,这真是一个奇妙的滑翔机机身,请问您是如何想到这种设计的?
A:当我们看到设计图时,就发现这个设计有缺陷,竟然要后期加重来改变重心,所以我们就设计了一个流线型的造型,而且原先的材料实在是太重了,所以我们用木条代替了木板。
Q:是这样吗,那么请问您是如何改动机身的呢?
A:我们是用碳纤维做机身的骨架,把那个用木条作为支撑,以便于减少重量。
Q:那这个碳纤维骨架是?
A:这个是淘宝上买的。
Q:下一个问题,请问您的机尾为什么设计成这个样子,而不用原来的机尾?
A:我们就是为了好玩,而且原来的机尾太重了。
Q:这样的吗,行吧,那么接下来,请问您是为何做这样的机翼呢,用原来的机翼不好吗?
A:是这样的,我们发现正常的机翼是不够大的,所以我们加长了它,而且我们这种设计能更好的保持滑翔机的平衡,正常的机翼只能提供少量的平衡力,我们的侧翼可以在飞机飞偏是提供大量的平衡力。
Q:所以这就是您取得冠军并且破上一届记录的原因?
A:哈哈,是吧。
英语老师专访
Interview with Judy
Chestnut Media: What do you think is the most important part of this activity?
Judy: This course is mainly around the meaning of the EE, so the main goal of this mission is to improve English. Therefore, the first point to have adequate preparation for the content of adequate vocabulary of English words. There are familiarity with the way of academic discussion, as well as the construction of academic things has enough steps to grasp. The second point is to have enough data on introductions and drafts to be able to compare the two so that you can better copy it to your song. The third point is to be able to be not afraid of difficulties in the production process, and dare to overcome the difficulties, can overcome the pressure brought about by time can overcome the obstacles in the process of communication, can overcome the interference of other groups in the group. The more difficulties there are in this way, the higher the glider will be and the better glider it will be.
Chestnut Media: Why target a glider for this mission?
Judy: First, because the glider's structure is relatively simple, you will make robots when you are sophomores, this will be bigger, this will be more complex, the second point Glide can arouse your interest; Because this is a very challenging thing, and the steps are extremely complex to make, while you can hone the quality of patience and so on.
Interview with Lily
Chestnut Media: Did students meet any difficulty during the process of making a glider?
Lily: Yes! So, I noticed that some students didn't read the instructions very carefully. So, in my group someone did the wings three times. Yeah, they repeated and repeated, because of the angle they didn't get the right angle and other things worry about it. They did it again. Even yesterday—the finally lesson of glider making, they did some changes. I think it could be a good lesson for them in the future. As engineers, right?
