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.
