This is a very cool project because the students must be creative in their design with materials they supply, all while keeping it within a 1 x 1 square footprint.
As stated above, we had to have accuracy in the actual test.

We shot it really straight. After we finished building it I was concerned it would hook, like a paintball gun. But after testing it surprisingly shot dead straight.
