128 feet 5 inches.

That’s how far a marshmallow flew through the air before it landed in my mouth. Who knew a marshmallow could hurt so much? The previous record was 75 feet. Many of the practice shots did not travel 75 feet. We dialed in the proper way to hold the slingshot and angled the trajectory just right. All I had to do was get my mouth to the right spot.

I broke the record at the Cradlepoint Company BBQ to promote STEM education. It’s the first time we’ve had all our employees from around the world in Boise including our remote USA, Canada, Europe, Africa, and Asia Pacific teams with members from as far away as South Africa and Australia. We also have our Boise and Los Gatos, CA engineering teams together.

THanks to the team!
