June/11/2009 The status of our cross bow is almost done

What worked:
The shaft of our crossbow is made out of wood. To make the limbs of the crossbow we got three pieces of //Plexiglas™// and wrapped them together with a string. I invented a way to attach the limbs to the shaft. We used two pieces of metal and bent them to a 90° angle,screwed them to the side of the shaft and screwed the other side to the limb. Why? Because if we screwed it to the end of the shaft it would make the limb unstable and probably break under the stress.

What I learned
i learned about higher level thinking
