Next thing to decide is when to hold it; I suggest we officially start right after the June 26th event and finish July 24th with the competition day. That fits between events and gives 4 weeks for building.
When you register for the mini challenge, please list the top 2 or 3 skills you can apply to making a trebuchet - something like "Nick - Machining, Carpentry"
... damn, after all this discussion that takes me out, i'm back in perth for 3 weeks between those dates.
EDIT : I suppose I could help with concept design >_>; _________________ ( •_•)

I just picked the first convenient date, its definitely not fixed. If we can aim for a date that suits more builders, that the one to go for.
How about something a bit closer to a regular competition date?

I liked the concept of doing it toward the end of the year. Maybe post battleshed. Though I don't anticipate it being a particularly well attended event. _________________ Farnsworth - "I hate these nerds. Just because I'm stupider than them they think they're smarter than me."

Jake was proposing a mini-challenge, a dry run if you like. Its cheap, not too hard and will give us an idea how to make a bigger event work smoothly later in the year.

What about entering the Redbull Flugtag?
I'm going to send an entry anyway and see if I get selected _________________ The Engine Whisperer
