Chi Final Day a.k.a Competition Day

Its competition day for the Chi team.  This is the distance part of the competition and we are putting the sling back on after the first throw it flew off.  Other then that we pretty good in the distance competition we got over 25ft. but the accuarcy wasn’t too good.  Btw our trebuchet name was Jingles because it made jingling sound after every throw due to the counterweights.

Final Competition for Sigma

After all our work and testing our trebuchet decided to do the opposite it was doing during our testing.  We were accurately shooting 15′ during testing, landing in the 1′ marker, and during competition we were lucky to get 10′.  Either way, congratulations to the winners of each competition.

After all of our hard work we got our chance to use our trebuchet.  In the distance competition we threw the projectile over 23 feet, but sadly did not place in the top three.  On the otherhand in the accuracy competition we beasted and place first with our projectile landing just 13 inches from the desired target.
