Updated link to the Tundra Cell Phone video

Here is the new link to the Motorola Tundra Cell Phone video.  It was soooo cold that day, but we had fun strapping the phone to watermelons and hurling them into a cornfield.

Composite Video

This is a three minitue video I put together to highlight some of the events we have participated in.  Hurling pumpkins for distance and targets, and throwing old appliances, etc.  Hope you enjoy it!

Belgium Punkin Chuckin Contest

Here is a slide show of Bob and I at the Bikschote, Belgium Punkin Chuckin contest on Sept. 5th, 2010.  It was a great experience and our European counterpart, ACME Catapult Europe won the event that day with a throw over 2100 feet!  Pascal and his team have an amazing catapult.

Champaign-Urbana Punkin Chuckin Event

Wolfram|Alpha Explores the Science of Punkin’ Chuckin’.  
This is a great video done by one of the event sponsors, Wolfram/Alpha. The event was hosted by the Champaign Urbana Schools Foundation to raise money for their school system. It shows us hurling some of the 25 “sponsored” pumpkins at the city bus 900 feet away.  We hit it dead on twice during the event, in spite of the gusting wind.
