Maybe that's what the empty pocket in the plate the catapult rotates around is for? A VP to adjust the throw?

Everytime I've looked at this picture (a lot of times) I've noticed something cooler. My favorite part may be that the catapult is offset by 30 degrees on the turret to allow for a longer lever arm.

This robot is all about the little details, pun intended.
Yes, there is an adjustable hard stop that uses a custom tiny disc brake. At least that's how I understand it is going to be.
