Hi folks,
This is an idea from Mario "I'm Too Busy To Post" DeFacendis for
rtlToronto13 (uh, sometime in March 2003): We do the trebuchet game as
featured in Junkyard Wars.
-A castle is set up at the far end of the library room which is the target
for the launchers.
-The launcher can only be a certain size (18" by 18")
-The goal is to drop an object (a tire without rim) into the perimeter of
the castle.
-As the day goes on, you get more distance and the perimeter of the castle
gets smaller and smaller.
-Extra points if you destroy the castle walls :)
0 RCX limit :)
Nervous Organizer Comments: Insurance at Lillian H Smith. Marking up the
ceiling. Ow, my eye.
Now returning you to your scheduled the rtlToronto11: The Bruce and Chris
Show...
