Shop Class #7

Upon entering the Danger Room Shop, The classroom finds it transformed into a metal scrap yard.

Mac sits on the remains of a car seat tossing a medium size pumpkin in the air.

"Now that we got the emitters back in order, it's time to put some of your fabrication skills to work. Today I want you to start work on an apparatus that will fling a pumpkin. It can be a catapult, trebuchet, cannon, giant slingshot... whatever you want."

Mac motions to the scrap yard around him.

"Only catch is? You can use the parts you found from the junkyard behind me. You have full use of the shop tools to build whatever it is you plan to build. You have class today to plan and build. On Thursday we'll test out your new creations."

I'll be grading your project on:
Originality
Use of materials
Accuracy
Distance

"We have open shop this afternoon, and I'll have open shop tomorrow for those who want to use that time to work on their project. If you guys want to do this in groups or on your own, it's up to you."

"Thursday morning? We make a mess."

((I'll be modding the results of the pumpkin fling on Thursday based on how you build your "flinger". The more detail? The better your results.))

I just want to say how disturbing it is that when you Google "pumpkin flinging" you get *tons* of pages. Mostly of the trebuchet variety, apparently.

The average pumpkin is closer to 12-15 lbs than 1-2.

Trust me on that one. Thye average pumpkin, when roasted and pureed yeilds about 2 gallons of pumpkin puree for pies.

A Family of 6, eating pumpkin muffins at least once a week, will NOT consume three pumpkins in a year.
