Week 1

We have begun work on the Phiddipus Project. For the first week we started our design, troubleshot some issues, and focused on creating a rough budget. We figured out what parts we plan to use and we found projected costs for those parts. Next week the Proposal, timeline, and budget is due.

Week 12 & 13

We finished our project during week 11. We have challenged ourselves to build a trebuchet that fires 700+ feet within a week. This is not for a grade as far as we know but its still in progress. We may not finish within the week since we have to test and dial it in but if we don't Jimmy will take it home and finish it at his farm.

For now we're focusing on finishing one boot as that would be necessary to create the instructable so that those after us can do this too.
