Group 7 Ballisticreport

The document outlines a design project for a ballistic device to be built by students for a hobby company. It includes sections for the design brief, final design sketch, program, pictures, data, reflections, and references. The design brief specifies that the device must launch a projectile at varying distances with precision while being adjustable to different angles from 10 to 80 degrees with the same initial velocity. The reflections note lessons learned around following instructions carefully and improving communication within the design team.
