Blog update

Last lesson ruby and I tested our trebuchet and took recordings for our handed in assessment. We went to outside boarders and the chapel because we though that that would be the flattest place and we could get an accurate shot from that. Our first two releases went in the 10m mark but the other 3 (we would release the ball 5 times to get a good average) it would a only go around 5m because it would crash into the bushes.

The results were:
Average Distance: 7564.6mm
Average Time: 2.116sec
Mass: 145.4g

We still need to record the height but I will have to ask mr ward about that and where we measure it from. We decided to to re record the last 3 distances because it is part of the assessment and it will give us something to talk about in he evaluation.
