Summarine Smash day reflection

Smash Day was really fun. We had to make a periscope to use so that we could see the items in a box that was on the table. The items that were given to us were 10 pieces of paper and 6 pieces of cardboard. 4 mirrors were also given. My advice to anyone who is trying to make a periscope is never cut anything. You should bend or twist but never bend. If you were to bend or twist you could still change it. But if you cut it you cannot change it. You should also go for the simplest easiest method. I saw a team who made it so complicated and in the end because of a small piece of miscalculation the entire periscope was useless. Duke, Me and Alex Wu used the simplest method where we did not reflect anything but just saw straight through the mirror. You should use the simple method and then make neccesssary changes to the periscope.
