Why is it important to sketch out a design before you attempt to build it? Describe your
struggles in the super slinger lab and how it could've been better with a more thorough
design.
- ANSWER It is important to sketch out a design before attempting to build it because you need
to record everything that happens. Having a sketch will make it easier to be able to record
what went wrong and where. We only had an original design, if we would have had someone
working as a recorder and sketching our design we would have been able to record all of our
data way more efficiently.
