Day Eight: Spinning and Twirling

Today we were given a few things to keep us occupied in class.  The first was motion modules and the second, our dragsters.  The dragsters require their own blog, so here I will metion the motion modules and our adventure there.

So motion modules are designs that were created by LEGO with instructions on how to build them.  So this was probably one of the easier challenges we've had thus far.  They were kinda' cool just the same.  The first we built was called "Chomper."  Like any sane person, when I heard that name I had flashbacks to Land Before Time and the baby T'rex Chomper.  Here is our Chomper with his bulbous eyes.
Our second module we built was a catapult.  Just by the name we had pictures of cannonballs shooting across the room.  We built the contraption, but it didn't quite meet our expectations.  I'll let you decide though.  Here's our catapult.
