We did it!
Ok, so NO designs came home, but we ended up drawing and talking through a couple of proposals after dinner. I present you with….
Design #1: Handles in vertical orientation and the rope over. Dismissed because the rope would get in the way of the ball.
Design #2: Handles in horizontal position and ropes to the sides. Dismissed because the ropes would only keep it stable left/right vs. front/back. Left/right movement wasn’t a problem: Back/front was.
Design #3: Handles in the horizontal position, and ropes to the front, and back. This one looks extra messy because we already had some revs to delete from before.
And the final result is….
G opted to build design #3 first. I feel like I lost on a teaching moment with the other 2 not doing what he wanted.
But now he’s a happy clam.
S and he are enjoying practicing his baseball pitching styles. I can see why he wanted to do this now: kid’s a jock. As long as he stays a brainy jock…
