Fire Away!

Reflection

As we did this project it was definitely an easier one to build but getting it to go further was the part we had to figure out more. To start off when we were building we started it with the arms as pipes and realized wood was gonna work a lot better. We restarted our trebuchet and made the arms wood. I didn't help much for the building part and I know next time I should be more helpful. When we were doing our trials and launching our projectiles I told my group about how the screws should be attached on the other side because the rubber bands were just falling off, and it helped it go further. Also when someone in my group put a stop on top connected to both of the arms, it made the projectile just go up and not out, I said that it was just stopping the projectile from fulling getting to its max distance and when we took the blocker off it went a lot further. Getting the calculations were also harder for me but as a group we all got it done 

I think next time we should have created more of an idea and talked about it before just doing random things that make us start over and if we came up with more of an idea of what we were doing first, then we could have gotten it done faster and had more time to make modifications and get our projectile to go even further then it did.
