Week 5

Our parts just came in and we are going over it to see if anything is missing. We have to make a cut list before we can begin to cut our parts. Once we cut the parts we will set everything up to drill our holes and maybe even begin to bolt it all together. We are also making an updated version of are budget since we realized we could make our lives easier by buying pre-cut material.

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. At some point in the future i will actually build the other boot and we will have a working pair. When, however, is unknown for now.
