    The document summarizes the design process of a catapult built by a group of students. It describes how they initially built an arm that was too heavy and later switched to a lighter design. They also changed the firing mechanism from the original design. Their objectives were to launch the catapult projectile over 5 meters and hit a 12 point target. In testing, their best throw traveled over 5 meters and nearly hit the 10 point section twice. They concluded that tightening the rope firing mechanism affected the distance thrown.

    Background: Design process : FIgure 5:


    The domain that we used the most We stated by building an arm shown in figure 4 which was
    is the 6th domain. We had some mislapse later scrapped on the original launch date because it was to
    and we had to use problem solving to solve heavy. The building block for the final product seen in figure 3
    our many problems, the inspirations were was the base shown in figure 2. Later after the original launch
    trying to have a strong base with a light arm date we got a new firing mechanism and a new arm. The
    so it will not move the base and it will be base and arm almost broke before we could launch but they
    easier for the arm to move held through.
    Research objective:
    We were trying to get our catapult to go past
    the 5 meter mark and our secondary more
    difficult one would be to get the 12 point circle

    Materials:
    ● Screws $0 Estimated $6
    ● Wood $0 Estimated $10
    ● PVC pipe $0 Estimated $10
    ● Duct tape $0 Estimated $5
    ● Solo Cup $0 Estimated $4 The time it went farthest we got the least
    ● Rope $0 Estimated $7 points. But the 2 other times they both
    Design: went in the 10 point section and were

    Figure 1: initial Design
    finished which was the final touches on the that was scapprd Conclusion:
    used for the entirety catapult before because it was to
    of the project launching it heavy. ● Our objective was to go past the
    5 meter mark. We did that on our
    2nd attempt giving us +8 points.
    ● When we were tightened the rope
    around the same it went to almost
    the same place
    ● We started out with figure 4 as
    our arm but it was to heavy so we
    switched it. We also switched the
    firing mechanism to a rope.
