I'll show you mine if you show me yours :D :D :D

Don't feel bad about procrastinating, my ring launcher board was put together the night before the science fair until about 2 at night, and testing didn't start until 5 days before. I just saw the finalists' projects from some higher level science fair and realized that I would have kicked their asses. :twisted:

If you still don't want want to show the board, could you explain your approach to presenting it. I made it into an experiment with variables, etc. That may have been my biggest mistake, but I couldn't come up with any alternatives.

I do procrastinate, but not in these things. I couldn't do it, the railgun enclosure became available too late.

For presentation, I made up BS about efficiency. What killed me was the lack of cold hard data....
