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."

"Trebuchet," Krycek says, looking his machine over one last time. "Its frame is built of steel and welded to an engine block at the bottom to keep it down. The throwing arm - made of a medium-weight metal bar - is attached a chain which is in turn secured to a small rubber tire, cut to hold the pumpkin, and is counterbalanced at the other side by a 25lb weight, which is really a bag of bits and pieces of lead.

"Winching down the throwing arm, it's secured to this hook at the base of the frame by a rope... which when cut, should fling the pumpkin a sizable distance." He hopes.
