Murlin Trebuchet

Week Two, Day One - Today we finally pieced our arm together for our model Trebuchet. We ran into a large problem though. We realized that our arm was too large for our model. Our model needed to be taller, in order to have more height of the arm to rotate to its full potential. We are discussing and trying to figure out how we can make our model work for going forward.

Week Two, Day Two - Today was the day when we realized that after many attempts at trying to fix our model that it would not work. Our model was a failure. We believed that we had worked out enough kinks in our model to start the real project. So we decided to scrap our model.

Week Two, Day Three - Today we deconstructed our model and scrapped the pieces that we had left. For the end of the class we worked on getting the dimensions and blue prints for our full size Trebuchet. 

Week Two, Day Four - Today we successfully constructed our own dimensions on our Trebuchet. We decided that our main arm should be 68 inches long that intersects our support arm at an 80 degree angle. The support arm is 42 inches long. Our base's dimensions are 48 inches in length and 18 inches wide.
