I don't know about shooting further, but adding some duct tape will give it that sleeper look that is starting to get in style lately.

Hey Kyle, That's Cool.

If you don't mind me asking, what exactly was the project? Perry won't have POE until next year and I was kinda interested in what will be going on in that class.

[Kyle Love]

Well, in the class you do tons of projects.
-SMET^2 (uses simple machines)
-Mouse trap car (self explanatory)
-Marble sorter
-Ballistic Device
-Materials testing
-*one more project that I forget...*

In the Ballistic Device, we could use anything we wanted to build a machine that would shoot a ping pong ball a to be determined distance between 5 and 15 feet. We had about 5 class periods to build and test, on the 6th day we did some velocity equations, and on the 7th class day we tested.

None of the other projects looked like mine. Most were big and bulky that maxed out our 1'x1' footprint. Mine was 5"x11.75".
