Discussion of Results for Balloon Lander

1. What worked well?

I think it's the bottom part because when the balloon lander descends, the bottom can achieve the effect of buffering 我認為是底部，因為當氣球著陸器下降時，底部可以達到緩衝的效果

2. That didn't work well?

We think that the space between the top plate and the balloon could be a bit farther apart. Because the plate is already touching the balloon, it will pop the balloon easier if it lands on that side. So we can give the plate more space or do the same thing as the bottom.

3. How would you change or adjust some parts so that the lander would perform better?

3-1

We have a pair of chopsticks on the top, and that pair of chopsticks is connected to our entire balloon lander, so there are two possibilities, 1 is that the chopsticks can help us achieve the effect of buffering, and the other is that the chopsticks can not help us achieve the effect of buffering so that the top of the balloon directly hits the ground and causes the balloon to break

我們的頂端上面有一雙筷子，那一雙筷子是連著我們整個的气球着陆器，所以有兩種可能，1種是筷子可以幫我們達到緩衝的效果，另外一種有可能是筷子沒辦法幫我們達到緩衝的效果讓我們的頂端直接碰到地面導致氣球破掉。

3-2 and 3-3

We put the balloon in the paper cup, but because the paper cup can't hold the balloon completely, we plug it hard, but this way the balloon will become very tight, so if the impact is too strong, the balloon is likely to break

我們把氣球放在紙杯裡面但是因為紙杯沒辦法完全的裝下氣球所以我們就硬塞，但是這樣子氣球會變得非常的緊繃所以一旦撞擊的很大力那個氣球就很有可能會破掉

3-4

We put a water balloon on top of our paper plate, but the paper plate can't bear the weight of the water balloon very well, so it is possible that the paper plate will dent.

我们把水球放在我们的纸盘上面，但是纸盘不能很好地承受水球的重量，所以纸盘有可能会凹陷。
