The Centripetal division was very tightly matched. While the other machines had trigger problems, when they did work, they all sent the pumpkin out past 100 feet.

M2 S2 is a counterweight driven spinning machine. Human power lifts the weight with a come-a-long which then spins up the throwing arms. His second successful shot went out 120.77 ft.

The Spinning Wheel was a marvel of engineering but with their farthest throw of only 160.47 it was not enough to overtake the 'Putter. Later in the day, however they were able to toss some pumpkins that might have matched our throws, but we won't know for sure till next year.

Of course the 'Putter was able to barely hang onto its lead. Thankfully it worked very reliably after we got all the right bits attached.
