Shop Class #8: Pumpkin Madness

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

As the students enter into the Danger Room Shop, they find that it has been transformed into a large field. On one side of a field is a barn with a large bullseye painted on it. On the other side of the field a series of markers, much like you would see at a golf driving range.

Everyone's flinger is setup where they left it and a large pile of pumpkins sits next to each one.

Mac tosses a pumpkin in the air with a grin.

"Okay kids... Let's have some fun."

Alright sir, this is the Callynanders Chucker 4000, It flings, it stings, it even makes julienne fries. Well, not the last bit. Though Bridge's machine might...

Basically, we've set up a ballista. The winch powers back the cable, attached to set of tension bars, to build up the required tension and energy for the fling. Attaches to the string is out little half-bucket that we put the pumpkin in. After the winch pulls the cable back into full tension, we have a quick release pin so that it can fling with sudden and direct force. *nod*
