Re: Catapult vs Wheeled Shooter
We spent the better part of 3 weeks honing the design of our wheeled shooter to get it to perform consistently. Many tweaks were made in terms of wheel spacing, compression, and delivery mechanisms, but we manged to come up with something that seems fairly resilient to variations in boulders. Of course, no wheeled shooter is going to be 100% perfect, and occasionally we do get issues with a boulder pulling to the left or right a little, but we've got a pretty high accuracy all things considered.
If I had to do it all over again, I would definitely make a catapult though. It has benefits aside from accuracy. Most notably, they don't have to wait for their shooter wheels to spool up.
