 The key is to get the WHOLE TEAM to understand that you are designing and building a robot, which is a complete system - not just a collection of mechanical assemblies stuck together. - SteveGarward [more] |

Re: The Trebuchet Challenge
I built a Trebuchet this year at IVY Tech. It was my final class for my degree. The class was Kinematics of Machines.
We could launch a croquet ball over 120 feet  Anyone want to buy it? It's taking up room in my garage. I can send pictures.

Re: The Trebuchet Challenge
Team 176 took on the challenge of building trebuchets last year as a team building experience. It was a bit time consuming, but it turned out great and was definently a success! If you're up for a challenge and some fun definently try it!

Re: The Trebuchet Challenge
Ah yes, I remember this! I help coach a Science Olympiad team and this program was quite helpful with the design process of the treb.

Re: The Trebuchet Challenge
 Built over the summer by a group of bored people, it got a baseball 250 feet or so. Just remember to measure the clearances on both sides of the road when you're transporting it :-). Last edited by pludodog : 29-08-2006 at 00:49.
