Virtual Environments ENVS10008 Maxwell Bracher 636699

- constructed with the ‘notch’ system

- plywood pieces pried out of an A4-sized sheet

- width of plywood corresponds to width of notch

- notches that are wider than the plywood make loose connections

- some notches appear to have ‘teeth’ that lock pieces together.

What did I learn?

Many interlocking notches are of equal depth, but some are not

Diagonal notches require tight fittings so as to hold the corresponding piece in place
