Airplane Launcher Project
Our team, The Senior Citizens, is building a penguin-themed foam airplane launcher for the ME 1720 Airplane Croquet competition at Missouri S&T. The goal of our design is to create a safe, portable, and creative system that can reliably launch the provided foam airplane through wickets set 10 feet in the air.
