Windmill Competition.

Richie, Katchina, and I were walking through a field and suddenly they told us to get going because everybody else had already started. Confused, we bean looking around and saw a clearing with a large box in the middle of it. We open the box and inside is a large set of K'nex. (those plastic rods and connectors that you use to build things, children's toys) We decide to build a windmill out of it. A very tall windmill.

Some time during the building once we got the frame up we decided that we wanted to build a clock tower instead. Richie started building the clock face, katchina started with the insides and the gears, and I started building a large slingshot. The idea was that when the judges were looking at our sculpture, the clock would move and when it struck twelve, a hidden slingshot inside the tower would shoot out a bunch of paper crows....
