Disappinting
Reviewed By: Bob (Chicago, IL)
The pieces come on 2 boards that have been routed but not completely cut through, so you have to use a utility knife to cut each piece out, trying to follow the curving outline of each. Then you have to redrill all the holes because none of them are large enough for the dowel rod supplied. There is a couple of points where string is used and the string supplied is the braided nylon type that quickly unravels as soon as it is cut. The whole point of the project is to test the velocities between the two launch methods of fixed weighted and swinging bucket, but the weights are not supplied. The instructions say to pick up some weights at a "fitness supply store". Once finally put together, it doesn't work very well. Basically a rip-off.
