Problem C: Dog Cannot Catch a Treat — SCUDEM Outstanding Award

Elijah Goodwin, Madeleine Rygh, and Lucas Sorensen, United States Military Academy, West Point NY USA https://qubeshub.org/community/groups... Abstract: Our group participated in the SCUDEM VIII Challenge hosted by SIMIODE in the Fall of 2023. The prompt we chose, prompt 3, led us to generate a model of a dog named Fritz and various food objects being thrown at him to determine if Fritz was bad at catching or if the owner was purposefully throwing food at Fritz unfairly. We thought about the physics behind the problem, developing a model using python. To give the owner further advice, we utilized a learning curve to draw a conclusion. We accounted for Fritz's position being fixed in place, his reaction time, and his ability to learn to catch. We concluded that Fritz simply struggles with catching and that the owner does not purposefully throw the treats incorrectly. With time, we believe that Fritz can improve his skills. We intend to build on the judge's feedback, explain what we would have done differently if we did the problem again, and how we can update our current model to improve our understanding of the problem by examining the errors we made.
