Our highest amount of shots made out of 10 shots was 5, which isn't enough to sink the "pirate ship."]]> 2019-08-29 12:05:43 UTC https://padlet.com/raymondshao51_1/3g88o8dddpwf/wish/378233785 raymondshao51_1 https://padlet.com/raymondshao51_1/3g88o8dddpwf/wish/378234072 2019-08-29 12:06:50 UTC https://padlet.com/raymondshao51_1/3g88o8dddpwf/wish/378234072 raymondshao51_1 https://padlet.com/raymondshao51_1/3g88o8dddpwf/wish/378236605 When the day came for us to do the final test on our catapults, we managed to get only 50% accuracy. I believe that the reason why our catapult didn't get 80% accuracy was because our catapult kept turning slightly when we launched it. If we had saved more popsicle sticks in our design, I think we could've made our catapult accurate enough to sink the pirate ship.]]> 2019-08-29 12:15:20 UTC https://padlet.com/raymondshao51_1/3g88o8dddpwf/wish/378236605 raymondshao51_1 https://padlet.com/raymondshao51_1/3g88o8dddpwf/wish/380345953 Build a device that will hold a raw egg and prevent that egg from breaking when dropped from the top of the arena bleachers.]]> 2019-09-05 12:06:45 UTC https://padlet.com/raymondshao51_1/3g88o8dddpwf/wish/380345953 raymondshao51_1 https://padlet.com/raymondshao51_1/3g88o8dddpwf/wish/380347948 2019-09-05 12:11:13 UTC https://padlet.com/raymondshao51_1/3g88o8dddpwf/wish/380347948 raymondshao51_1 https://padlet.com/raymondshao51_1/3g88o8dddpwf/wish/380349081 We tested our prototype by standing on top of our table and dropping it.

If we could change the design, I would move our "sushi roll," which is basically cotton balls taped together, down to the bottom of our design, so that we would have a weaker impact. ]]> 2019-09-05 12:24:51 UTC https://padlet.com/raymondshao51_1/3g88o8dddpwf/wish/380353582 raymondshao51_1 https://padlet.com/raymondshao51_1/3g88o8dddpwf/wish/383713802 2019-09-13 11:52:54 UTC https://padlet.com/raymondshao51_1/3g88o8dddpwf/wish/383713802 raymondshao51_1 https://padlet.com/raymondshao51_1/3g88o8dddpwf/wish/383714984 Build a bridge that can span a distance of 11 inches and hold 5 pounds of sand.]]> 2019-09-13 11:56:13 UTC https://padlet.com/raymondshao51_1/3g88o8dddpwf/wish/383714984 raymondshao51_1 https://padlet.com/raymondshao51_1/3g88o8dddpwf/wish/383721627 We tested our suspension bridge by attaching a bucket to it and filling the bucket with sand.
