ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************
Once upon a time.....built one that was about 10' high, by 10' at the base.
You don't say how the curve is skewed; that should tell you a lot about
what's wrong. If its skewed toward the middle, the horizontal spacing is
too large. I don't know what the layout is for peg board, if it is
equilateral - I don't think it is.
Also the height from which you release the ball has a bearing on the
outcome.
Finally, the type of ball has a bearing. If they bounce too far the first
time, it can skew things.
Experiment with these and remember theory is sometimes a long way from
application!
