    Anybody got any images of theirs? I'm interested in seeing the different designs accross the country! How did you find it doing them, easy / hard ?

    Here's mine for Engineering; I'm not putting up my Contruction one, its just... Cr*p. :rolleyes: I was pretty happy with my engineering one though, got stuck in from day one and it works perfectly :) And I did a 35 Page brief too that looked well IMO.

    what do you have to make for eng/construction?

    Engineering(HL), We had to make a Table-Tennis ball shooter. Had to release balls periodically, indicate when no balls remain and be able to hold 10 balls at a time. Thats pretty much it. And them images in my first post is what I came up with and constructed from scratch. Alot of brasing/welding involved :(

    Construction studies? Pretty much anything :L Although from what all our CS teachers told us, to get full marks they want us to build something in relation to the construction course. For eg, A Lean-To roof, A house including all details etc.. I don't know how true this is.

    Ooo.. thats a pretty interesting idea. How did it work out for you ?

    Worked out well in the end, fires them pretty far. I use an LDR in that pipe to detect no remaining balls. It was hard to position the wooden & plastic guides beside the firing arm to make sure it didn't fling out of place or get caught but I got it after a bit of tweaking.
