- During the project, although our trebuchet didn't perform as well as it could have, I was still pleased with our results. We went farther than the required distance of 25m (we averaged a distance of 31m). And in the accuracy part, we didn't come out in last place so I was happy about that! Our team worked really well together and this allowed for a peaceful building of our trebuchet.
- I feel that this activity was very successful. For future students, I recommend doing a lot of research on the type of trebuchet you want to build. Our team found the floating arm trebuchet on youtube and it inspired us to build our own. All of the videos we watched on youtube about FATs were very successful and I think this made us feel that we could have a very successful trebuchet ourselves. However, I think it would have been a good idea to look for FATs that were unsuccessful and we could have picked out what was wrong with theirs to better our own. In conclusion, I feel that this was a very successful project!
