@wbonar : The tall floating arm trebuchet with the Swiss and American Flag (Kupbis Kill) threw the furthest, out to about 10m past 120m. We only score up to 100m, and then rank by total weight, so I only bought measuring tape for 120m. Pueblo High School and Chunkin Pucker came pretty close to 100m as well. (93 and 89 m respectively) - A good field of competitors.
why couldn't our physics go this far out? The best project we had to do was to create a structure that can protect an egg down a 4 floor drop to the concrete floor
Great fun and all the kids worked hard and had fun.
Awesome videos
Man that looks fun!

Hey - show up this coming October, and you can!
Absolutely.
Everyone had such a good time I think we'd be facing a riot if we didn't do it again.
