Your first build: The Giant Domino Set


As a group, determine who is going to build each component to create a giant set of dominoes. Consider the following:
  1. Create a group for yourselves.
  2. Share object modification rights with your group.
  3. Assign specific tasks to each person.
  4. Communicate with each other in-world, even if you are sitting in the same lab.
  5. Keep a copy of an object in your inventory to keep separate from a build where you are linking objects together. This gives you more options in the future without unlinking.
  6. Rename each of your objects appropriately and keep your inventory folders well-organized.
  7. Partner with another avatar to back up your inventory with them.
  8. Comment to this post about what is/is not working well for you.
  9. You can use the above image for inspiration but the design of the build is entirely up to you and your peers.

The domino experiment went pretty well, and I prefer our design to the one displayed. We'll upload the snapshots soon.

Yes, I agree with G; I prefer our design of the domino build because it contains the tube under the platform and therefore the ball does not have to be pushed, but only released. Also, our design is more colorful :P. We will post up our snapshots as soon as we are done perfecting our design.

Good ideas, Greg & Asif! I appreciate your analysis and look forward to seeing your design.
