| Design sketch | 
 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.
