ANGRY PIGS: Real Life Tournament Table

Millions of people love playing the most popular App of all time on their mobile devices. Imagine how much fun it will be to play this game in real life?? But this time..... the pigs are out for revenge. They've taken way too much abuse and it's time to even the score. Introducing........... the real life game of ANGRY PIGS.

We traded in our trusty sling shot for a speedy zip line. Our designers(students) have been equipped with a fully stocked K'NEX supply cupboard, and a custom remote controlled K'NEX motor.

The CHALLENGE???

Build a remote control weapons delivery system designed to effectively eradicate the structures that the pesky birds have been building.

The STRATEGY???

Build the most efficient weapons system so you'll be ready when it's your turn to fire. Next, design and build the smartest target layout when it's your turn to defend. The whole game plays out in a round robin tournament.

Learning Objectives

This project was designed specifically for my grade nine Introduction Technology course. It's jam packed full of great learning.

• Students learn elements of the design process by sketching, building, modeling and testing design solutions
• Students learn how to budget materials, and manage time and tasks within a group environment
• Student learn the basics of 3d modelling by planning target layouts in CAD
• Students learn problem solving and basic engineering skills through the design and testing of their weapons systems
• Students have fun while learning

The world is getting angry and making everything on it like many of the game developers already launched similar games to the original but no one can beat the original. One example of angry santa http://angrybirdsonlinegames.org/angry-santa/

I don't think that you should have angry birds in this _{(copyright lawyers...)} but it's a great collective of work, nice video.

Well the birds aren't angry they are the prey ^^ He have bought the games but are using the product in his own way, its hard for me to see the harm in it. But I understand your point. But then if he would have problem wit this then there wouldn't be possible to make Lego docking stations for phones or anything because its actually a grey area for anything. And if there is something people should react to it is small minded companies.

The birds are unnecessary, we know where the idea came from.

[Mr. Noack]

The birds are necessary. My grade nine students are the ipod generation. They relate to this project because it's something they know. Authenticity = engagement.

I'm not sure I'd show up on any copyright radar. I'm using the angry birds product for my own project, and not for commercial gain. If instructables was worried about your copyright logic, they'd have to delete half the site.
