Catapult Arm

The trebuchet catapult arm is secure now. It has been bolted and hot glued into place which ensure that it is firmly secure in place, but there is the appropriate amount of motion needed for the catapult arm to propel the golf ball through the air. This motion can also be enhanced by applying grease or lubricant on to the pivot point of the trebuchet.

Trebuchet

Our trebuchet is gradually coming together. My absence these past few weeks of the production process meant we were unable as a group to collaborate on decisions, but given these circumstances I believe we will produce a quality trebuchet that provided adequate functionality. We still have the wheels, golf ball holder, and to complete the catapult arm, and we don't have much time left. So this next week we will have to work especially fast and efficiently in the workshop. I may organise with the group to come in the workshop one lunch time.
