For the second project, the catapult was definitely a step up with the added competitiveness of it. Sticking with the fact that the triangle is the strongest shape, that is the shape we made our catapult. The design stayed consistent throughout the process of building which was nice because we never felt stressed on time. In the end of the project we successfully completed the assignment, but sadly did not go over what was expected to get that A+.

Next time I do this project I will find a way to make the two distances more consistent. If I were to do that I should be able to hit the targets every time. The best part of this project was the reward in the end of getting to shoot the catapult. I used the collaboration transferable skill in the same way I used it in the paper tower project.
