New Catapult Test...and Rookies!!

School started last Wednesday. If I am not mistaken, we have 16 ROOKIES!!!!!!! That's nearly half of our team for the 2015 season. And 8 of those rookies are in the sophomore class. Now we have 11 sophomores and 13 seniors, with 7 juniors and 5 freshman. Total: 36 RoboVikes.

We have two offseason competitions coming up, both within September and the beginning of October. The nearest one is less than three weeks away. Earlier this summer we decided to make a new Freyja with a catapult instead of a ballistae launcher. That is still in progress, but yesterday we were able to test it out outside our workshop. Catapult test is on the left, catapult prototype on the right (click photo to enlarge).
