So a prototype is 50% constructed - Yep only two pop bottles for blades at the moment so its a modified Mk3 but in a few drinks time I will have enough materials to upgrade it to a modified MK 5 and there is no soldering iron involvement at the moment, and no welded node - that's four blades and no welding!
Re the Slug Slinging Trebuchet - its there in the back of my mind and I have started to research, so the challenge is for someone to build a Slug Slinging Trebuchet with perhaps a pop bottle full of sand for the weight? if enough vines build them perhaps we could have a virtual slug slinging competition or is that a nutty idea?
Here are two of the research videos I found, I love the Myth Busters they are bonkers - there are so many Trebuchet videos on YouTube knock yourself out for and hour or two guys'n'girls
Note that in the second video the windmills in the background are not moving ;(

Slug Protection League !!!! My bootstrap and video logo says it all
Starts singing
If I had a hammer I'd sluggy in the morning
I'd sluggy in the evening
all over this allotment
I bet that green one is the one that's had six of my sweetcorn away
Please note that no actual slugs were hurt in the making of my bootstrap logoLast edited by Cadalot; 15-07-2016, 07:02 AM.

I do so love clever things that demonstrate pure genius for no useable purpose.
Sort of 'Monty Python meets Archimedes'....pure joy!
