We have had about 10 successful launches and only 2 failed launches on Telos. This is a great ratio. The two failures were to do with the pouch which we have fixed and have since had no failures. Our distance isn't where we want it to be but we are working on every little efficiency that we can.
Our medium trebuchet, or wi fli hi, as our O.B. jr team has named it, is coming along very well. We have the box large enought o hold about 500 lbs. of weight, we have 2 new axles, and I am picking up some bearings and shaft collars today. We will be at the barn on Saturday and hopefully get everything fixed and ready to go. I am hopefull that we can get about 300 or more feet from wi-fli-hi.
One last thing, we started using a laser range finder to measure our launches. If you have access to one of these, use it! It's great. You just hold it up, put your machine in its sights, and shoot the distance. It's very accurate.
