Airplanes in the Smith Center

I wish I had video of my plane sailing down to the court, off the backboard, and into the basket! And of the two different janitors who told us to stop throwing things (even though we had permission)...

Johnathan had a winner on this throw.	Travis also had a winner with his own design.	Thomas was third, but I think not on this throw -- this plane is going down.
Jenny's plane, in the upper right, turns back	Lauren, caught in the act of throwing	Alan's plane is the blur in the upper right.
Augh! I moved the camera for the launch of the tube planes.	Using some mathematics to deblur...

Three tube planes still flying

Origami & diagrams

The assignment was to make three things from at least two different bases (kite, fish, waterbomb, bird, or frog), to become more familiar with the origami folds and with the commonalities and differences of models derived from the same starting points.
