Blog Entry #3 - Halloween

The things that went well during the Halloween mini project was the structural integrity of the trebuchet maintained despite the counter weights hitting it after every launch of candy. Also, the motors being able to lift 3 kilograms of weight and never failing. Next time we could use all vex components from the start so that we can understand them more. In addition, we could have worked on the code more so that it works every-time and use screw drivers to tighten the screws and nuts rather than doing them by hand. The advice I would give to myself for the year long project is to figure an endgame early on. Basically, know what the final product will look like so that no last minute major adjustments will be necessary.
