Shop Class #7

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

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.))

Mac gives cally a little smile.

"We're not in the military Cally. You can call me Mac or MacGyver. Before this class started I told you that if anything ever happened to Carter or Kitty that I'd make you a TA. It may be a little soon to do it now, but I need help with the class and the technology. You still interested?"

Yes sir. I'd love to help out more. I, erm, never got the chance to observe Kitty at the controls, though. Is there a manual or something?

((OOC: Waves magic wand. *ding* You and Kitty got together sometime and you learned what you needed to know.))

Oh, wait... d'uh. Nevermind, I did. Just slipped my mind, that's all. Do you want me to man the panel now, or can I work on the pumpkin flingy-thing?

"I've got the panel all programmed, so go ahead an work on the project, however next Thursday I'd like you to come up with a class project. Would you be able to do that?"

Re: Cally?

Like, next week, or in two days sir? I'm not sure I can come up with something interesting in two days, sir.

Re: Cally?

"Next week. We'll be doing the results of the pumpkin flinging this Thursday. If you need more time to think of something, that's fine too."

((Don't mean to put you on the spot. Whenever is fine. Just want to make sure you get a chance if you want.))

Re: Cally?

Oh, next week is fine, sir. Just wanted to make double-sure, and all that. *nod* But I'll let you know if I'm having trouble.

[[Oh, it's plenty of time, actually. I'll come up with something, and run it past Mac IC sometime this weekend, probably]]
