Mass Launcher

The mass launcher project is the first project that I completed in my third year. The goal of this project was simple; make a simple mass launcher to throw a small projectile. This project only took a couple of days, and looking back at the project, there are already things that I have learned from it. One thing I learned was that there is always improvements to be made. I learned this when we were working on our catapult, making constant changes to make the ball launch better. 

On the right is the video we used to calculate the velocity of the ball by using the distance it traveled divided by the time it was in the air.
