What is the purpose of the disc launcher?
—The disc launcher was built to test the limits of disc flight distance and attempt to break the world record.
What challenges did the team face during the design process?
—The team faced challenges such as ensuring stability, countering centripetal forces, and maintaining safety during high-speed launches.
Did the launcher achieve the desired distance record?
—Although the launcher achieved impressive launch speeds, the team did not reach the distance world record with their initial tests.
What improvements were made to the design for better results?
—The team made improvements, including a sliding weight design, reinforced components, and better wind conditions in a new testing location.
What were the final results of the disc launches?
—After testing in a new location with favorable wind conditions, the team achieved amazing results, although the exact distance is not mentioned.
