An example of unsafe operation is repeatedly throwing balls off the field at audience members, media personnel, judges, referees, etc. An example of an unsafe design is a SHOOTING MECHANISM that has a large mass that is stopped abruptly at the end of travel and is at risk of breaking off the ROBOT and becoming a projectile."

Yeah, how did you design your catapult to not violate that? It seems vague enough that any catapult design would be illegal. (Unless it's more of a lacrosse-style thrower)
