Day # 2

Today we worked on splitting the job. We each took turns to chose a job. This will make our group more organized, and we will be able to finish faster. For the next day, I plan to start the website. I want to make something flashy but not to distractive.

Day # 1

We wathced several videos of people building a potatoe launcher. One of the videos was very interesting. He made it simple and easy. The fire power on this launcher was amazing. He was able to shoot across a river. It was more than 100 feet. The problem is that he used hair spray. I feel like the cannon can explode or it may cause the shirt to catch on fire. All in all, this might be the launcher that i choose for he project.
