Project Design and Initial Ideas
Let's put some sketches here guys! If you end up with an enormous picture, what you can do is open up the original file just with the paint application. Scale it down to a more manageable size, and then crop down the white space to fit it. Then post it. We don't want enormous pictures of drawings. Keep 'em reasonable.
Final Design and Completed Bat-Glider
Let's get some pictures of the completed project along with the final Autocad design we did. Things to include in why our design was awesome/innovative: 1) Maximized surface area given materials 2) Split tennis ball for balance 3) rubber band launch 4) Bat logo (we can talk about how engineers need to consider aesthetics...)
Results and Conclusions
Let's see what happens guys. We need our final distance here along with some discussion of... 1) What we were happy with 2) What went wrong/could have been improved 3) What we would change if we did it again (if anything)
The Name
While some say that the team names were generated at random, others speculate that the name Emel has some hidden meaning or reference. The leading theory is that Emel refers to the Muslim lifestyle magazine, seen in the below image. What relationship this has to Engineering is still unclear, but it is certain to be discovered sometime during the semester.

Another possibility is that Emel simply refers to the Mary Lyons (ML) dorm where every member of the team currently lives; however, that theory seems skeptical at best, and there is little evidence to support it.
