Endpin modification test launch

• Launched from ground level
• Projectiles: Water balloon, tennis ball
• This was just a test to visually see if the modification made any difference. The balloon distance was approximated. The tennis ball's distance was not measured.
  

Test 1

• Balloon Weight: Not Measured
  
• Balloon Launcher: Rosa
  
• CW Prop Angle: 180
  
• Total Distance: Appx. 90 ft.

Test 2

• Tennis Ball Weight: 56 g
• Launcher: Adam
  
• CW Prop Angle: 180
  
• Total Distance: Not measured

Test 3

• Tennis Ball Weight: 56 g
  
• Launcher: Rosa
  
• CW Prop Angle: 180
  
• Total Distance: Not measured
  

Conclusion:

• The modification did not improve the trebuchet. It's performance was about the same if not slightly worse.

Next Time:

• Create new, longer endpin.

Endpin Modification

Took endpin piece to Bob to be modified.  Pin was removed successfully from the endcap, and bent a few more degrees.  Endcap broke while trying to replace the pin.  Glued together.  Will wait a few days before launching.
