Sophisticated Machines


Yo-yo by Joe Scotto
 


We had to build a sophisticated machine producing an optical illusion & angular momentum. My group and I decided to make a yo-yo with an optical illusion on each side of the yo-yo. We only had time to make one yo-yo, so we tried our best to make it work. Our yo-yo makes many different colors.

The results of our project: everything worked, the colors came out good. Our illusion came out great, it made a rainbow. The illusion looks cool when you spin the yo-yo.

If I would develop it further in any way, I would try to make the yo-yo thinner. Also we should have make it a little smaller and used different ropes. Maybe we could have changed up the illusion a little bit and made it cooler. A heavier string but a smaller base would be probably the best kind of yo-yo.
