The Challenge
Build a catapult out of popsicles that can launch a light object 5 yards.
DesignWe used triangles to provide good support with low material take-up. We used tape as a means to also reinforce our project.

Scientific PrinciplesThis uses propulsion to launch an object into the air, with gravity to pull it down.

Making It Better
To make this project better we would most likely add more strength to the rubber bands.
Outcome
Our catapult went the furthest of all the TRUE catapults at a distance of 249 inches, or about 20 feet.
