Power Draw

Our team has been plowing ahead but we've run into a bit of an problem.
The motors that we are using for our catapult are behaving a bit inconsistently because, we believe, the draw from the battery is momentarily too great. We've thought about capacitors, but we're not sure they're legal. Has anyone else run into a similar problem or does anybody have an idea for how to solve this issue?
