About our stadium
Our stadiums name is "the hydraulic stadium". The reason we named our stadium this is because its our hydraulic project. This stadiums roof covers about half of its top and it opens and closes with the help of two simple hydraulic machines and syringes.
Process and difficulities
The process of making this stadium took us more than two weeks to make.First we made the two simple hydraulic machines , then we made the bottom part of the stadium that is simply just paint on a foam board, and finally we made the actual stadium with the help of paint and cardboard.
Although we thought that this stadiums roof would open with ease, its actually very hard to open. It was hard to make the roof come down. We had to fill the syringes numerous times. And also we had to fix our stadium numerous times.
What we could do to improve our project
We think that instead of making the two simple machines inside, we could've just attached a syringe to the top of the roof and it could've worked . Also , we could improve our stadiums shape.
