@brianbterry and I are teaching a class on Trebuchets this Saturday from 5-9pm, I will be ordering a few kits for anyone that wants to build and launch their own trebuchet. These kits are pretty easy to put together and a lot of fun. Only one person signed up for the eventbrite so I can’t order the kits yet. IF you want to join this class, please let me know by the end of the day today (6/14/16) so I can order more kits.
@themitch22 and @brianbterry: I signed up via eventbrite earlier today, ordering one kit. Then I saw your comment in this thread about needing signups by deadline of last night. Did I create a problem? Am I (my son actually) still good to go?
I ordered a few extra kits in case my family comes to the class. I’m totally glad that we’re getting kids involved in science at the space. I think this will be a good starter maker project for all ages.
@themitch22: I considered getting two, but only got one, because only one of my two candidate kids is certain. If you still have a kit left at the last minute I might take it off your hands (via cash onsite or paypal), but certainly don’t wait for my fuzzy non-commitment.
Yeah I decided to go with this kit because it was a lot simpler and closer to a traditional trebuchet. Also I was able to put it together in less than an hour with the wood glue setting. http://www.oaklandballistics.com/#!trebuchet/c24xd
hopefully next time!!
