World Championship Chunk 2007: Various

Search

Various notes from other divisions, and events of interest. Trebuchets Trebuchets are a popular division, so I'm including the top three from the Adult classes. The Trebuchet Scoreboard. What a good idea. Yankee Siege has become a very large fixture of the Chunk. Another great New England team trucking their parts to Delaware. "Merlin" has finally arrived at the 'Chunk after much hype on TheHurl. Merlin has a curved I beam in it that made Dave, Kevin and I go "Hmm... how did he make that?" This machine uses no counterweight yet, only the mass of the sled that runs down the vertical I-beams. Google Video Service Merlin 2007 2nd Shot Information: Merlin at the 2007 WCPC 16 sec - Nov 5, 2007 Yankee Siege is so big, I was unable to get a good picture of Pumpkin Hammer without it's looming presence impinging on my view. Pumpkin Hammer wants to be a whipper, but is instead a super-prop trebuchet out of necessity, as the whipping isn't working for them right now. Motorized Centripetal There are some cool centripetal machines at the chunk. This year Kevin caught some cool video. Google Video Service Centrifugal Machines 2007 Punkin chunk Information: Last shot of the 2007 punkin chunk for 3 of the 4 centrifugal machines. The one missing was too short to be seen past all the trucks in the pits. 1 min - Nov 6, 2007 Miscellaneous pictures Adam tries to decide if he should add this torsion machine to the lineup for next year. Let's Bounce crew helped out the Mista Ballista team big-time when we used their equipment to fix one of our torsioning arms that we use to finish tightening Mista Ballista's rope bundles. Mr. B wasn't the only one to lose an arm. Hypertension imploded when the main axle failed during pullback. A tough break for John Huber, the VP of Punkin Chunkin. Pumpkin Research! While the Camo-camo had a wood-like flesh, they didn't seem to grow over 7 lbs. The Ghiridelli's however, had thick stiff rinds, and flew well. This has become Chucky's ammo of choice.
