PP Challenge 117

Welcome to Challenge 117. I took this picture last Friday during my daughters Pumpkin Chucking Physics lab. Each team had to design, build, and operate a catapult or trebuchet that would propel a small pumpkin between 6m and 10m. There was two different challenges. The first was an accuracy challenge (closest to 6.3m) and the second was a long distance challenge (minimum 10m to infinity). The longest distance was 117m.

There are no limits to what processing is allowed and I have been known to push those limits a time or two myself.

This challenge will close at 5 pm EST on Tuesday, November 19th.

Good luck to everyone and let the processing begin.

A great start so far. Now that the weekend is just around the corner, I hope to see quite a few more entries submitted.
