Create a device that will project a marshmallow. We will be using large marshmallows.
Competition will be both distance and accuracy.
Requirements:
At most, your hands can ONLY be used to load the marshmallow. (Bonus points for self-loading catapults)
No size limits
Parts from both kits can be used
Unique designs are encouraged. If necessary, a suggested design is available on http://www.nxtprograms.com/catapult/.
Other general Trebuchet information is available here.
Additional information, proposed targets, possible involvement of Department administrators and Principals is possible if designs are appropriate.
I will also consider additional suggestions........
