Design

This machine is a two-month work created over the summer of 2005. Weighing in at over 200 lbs without the counterweight, 22 feet tall after the launch motion, with a 16 foot long arm, it is a behemoth that can cause destruction. With a 150 lb counterweight it can hurl 2 liter bottles of soda over 200 feet. Feel free to browse the site for design ideas for your own machines or look at photos and videos.
