Today we met as a group and ultimately decided on which catapult design we were going to use. We decided upon the Onager, so we began to task out eachother's role in aiding the project:
- Lesly took the initiative to draw the catapult.
- Chris, Roger, and I began to research dimensions and designs, so we could determine the materials needed.
- Upon completing some research, we found the design of a smaller catapult, so we decided to use that design but use a scale of it; specifically making it about 10 times bigger.
- My group and I decided which catapult we would make. We had different options some which were among the Trebuchet, Balista, Mangonel, and Onager. Ultimately, we decided on the Onager. The main reason why we decided on the Onager was because it can aim an object at a target and into a certain target, it is very similar to a Mangonel which was a possible option for our catapult. My group worked on finding out what materials would be needed for the build phase of the catapult while I worked on drawing an Onager catapult so we can use it to see how we will need to make it.
