Progress

 Yesterday we finally managed to gather all the parts we needed to build the cannon. We were able to construct the cannon pretty successfully according to our design. However, we did encounter some difficulty with applying a seal around the valve being used to pump air into the pressure tank, which is causing our tank to lose pressure from a slow leak. Luckily, for the time being, this isn't stopping us from doing a few test launches. Our next step will be to construct the pan and tilt function on the cannon and then finally figure out how to program the whole system so that it can be aimed and fired with a wireless Wii nun-chuck controller.

Our cannon!
