My weekend project with a toy crane taught me about center of gravity

I rigged up a small toy crane to lift weights around my garage. Seeing how the base shifts with different loads made the physics click for me. Do you think practical tinkering like this is useful, or just a distraction?

Totally useful. That kind of hands on messing around makes concepts stick way better than just reading about them.

Yeah exactly, it's like you actually learn why things work by getting it wrong first. Those mistakes make the right way stick with you way more.
