3.0 TESTING AND SIMULATION

For the testing method, we conducted several trials to get the expected results.

Several factors that are considered while conducting the testing are the angle of throwing
Shagai, the amount of PSI needed to throw the Shagai and the size of the cylinder

pneumatic. For the angle of throwing Shagai, the platform is adjusted so that the Shagai has

the right angle for landing. The level of PSI is also important so that the throwing part has
enough force to throw the Shagai and to ensure that it will land within the Landing Zone.

Lastly, the size of the cylinder pneumatic is vital to get the exact distance of the shaft of the

catapult.
