Oakland Ballistics jr. update

Yesterday, 3 members from OB jr met to do some work. They finished their Medium Treb and did a few launches. First, it was hot here, 87 with high humidity. Though we have some issues to work out the final launch of the day was very successful and matched the simulator, A-treb's predictions almost perfectly. They will be entering in the 15 and under division of the Lake Orion Pumpkin Launch this year. Good luck to them.

Delivery!

We were out working on the throwing arm Sunday and our fabricator stopped by. He had all the steel parts that we needed. I believe that means that we have all parts for Telos. That's pretty cool. Cal (fabricator) did a great job anticipating our concerns. He even had a great idea of how to construct this thing. It's a cool idea and should be fun to implement. I'll let you know how it goes.
On another note, we have been contacted by Teacher's Supply about having our Mini Treb's in their catalog. They would also like to use one of our larger treb's for the cover of their science catalog. We will see what they think of our trebs in person but I am hoping to have Telos take that spot.
