Week 13 Monday

On Friday of last week Joe came in after another AP test when he should have been in 3rd period. However 3rd period is a disappointing waste of a class so Joe had no problem with coming to engineering  instead. Joe was able to make a sling and he prepared the catapult for testing.

Week 14 Thursday

Today the rope ended up snapping and breaking on us as of right now the catapult is out of commission until we retrieve more rope. we added more wood support beams 4 X 4 across bottom of the cross bar and two 2 X 6 X 18 on the outside of catapult so that the wood did not snap on us again. i added eye hooks on back 2 X 6 board as our release mechanism. we also added three more 2 X 4 on top of post so the arm stopped earlier and launched the object in to the air.
