BernieD says, "In this case, there's no specified constraint on the
design other than the laws of physics."

HarrisD asks, "Describing the project in the superlative is like a
constraint, no?"

RoddL says, "The time constraint would seem to set me back... no time to
focus on construction of a mo.del which would be a realistic
necessity"

BernieD says, "We could, however, have said that it can be no higher
than 100 feet and that the riders must achieve an
acceleration of (some figure)."

BernieD says, "A fuzzy constraint, Harris."

VennyS [:)] bows to the early bird

BernieD says, "Let's look at another Physical Thing design."

HarrisD says, "Yes fuzzy...The rollercoaster applet would entertain me
for a long while"

PhilipAB [WebTeach] is miffed because he can't view the power point in
"process"...

BernieD says, "Sympathetic miffing from here, too."

HarrisD asks, "Is producing a machine for artic conditions enough of a
constraint?"

PhilipAB says, "As it stands, there is nowhere near enough guidance. The
teacher must present a lot of elements that never made it
to the activity page."

BernieD says, "Sure is, but it is it sufficiently described here? Could
