Test Day went well.
We had our trebuchet consistently, succeeding at the accuracy challenge of 15m.
We had a greatest distance of about 21m.
It performed fairly consistently of over 15m.
We will make some changes to try to increase our distance to 25m.
We also need to devise a trigger system.
We made an adjustment to the counterweight, increasing it's dropping distance to allow for greater force to hurl the ball.
The night before competition day, we had our ball going 25m, although not completely consistently. Throws were usually over 20m though.
We may use hockey sticks as a trigger system.
