Various notes from other divisions, and events of interest.
Trebuchets are a popular division, so I'm including the top three from the Adult classes.
There are some cool centripetal machines at the chunk. This year Kevin caught some cool video.

The Trebuchet Scoreboard. What a good idea.
Yankee Siege has become a very large fixture of the Chunk. Another great New England team trucking their parts to Delaware.
"Merlin" has finally arrived at the 'Chunk after much hype on TheHurl. Merlin has a curved I beam in it that made 
Yankee Siege is so big, I was unable to get a good picture of Pumpkin Hammer without it's looming presence impinging on my view. Pumpkin Hammer wants to be a whipper, but is instead a super-prop trebuchet out of necessity, as the whipping isn't working for them right now.

Pumpkin Research! While the Camo-camo had a wood-like flesh, they didn't seem to grow over 7 lbs. The Ghiridelli's however, had thick stiff rinds, and flew well. This has become Chucky's ammo of choice.
Team Tormentum brought two of our torsion machines to the chunk this year.
Mista Ballista returned to Delaware for the 2007 Punkin Chunk. We didn't get everything done that we wanted, but we had high-hopes to improve over last year.
Once again, the torsion class ruled the field with massively long distance shots and the usually great Torsion comraderie.
Hatra Ballista Jr took its first trip to Delaware for the '07 chunk to compete in the _Youth 10 and Under_ division. It came down on the roof of Grandpa's van, and didn't hit the field till 7:45 am on Friday.
The 10 and under catapult category had three machines in it this year, and everyone I talked to was plenty friendly. The families had a tendency to disappear after their shots, so I didn't get to chat with them much.
