The Catapult project is a project my team did based around learning projectile motion and parabolas. We had a couple of weeks to apply our knowledge of projectile motion to building a catapult. We had to prototype creating a scaled down version of a final design. Which was just a way for the group to get ideas / possibilities out there. Our final design was different from what we had in our prototype this is mostly due to the fact that the cuts we would have to make would be very complicated and in my opinion a waste of time. Our final design worked very well. With a maximum distance of 90 feet. The catapult did have one flaw, the surgical tubing lost most of its tension after the 3rd try with significantly reduced range down to about 25 feet. Which means you would have to "reload" after 3 shots.
