Hahaha, don't worry, my team already kind of considers my a bit loony.

But why not? It'll have to be sturdy and have a latching mechanism but that's all. Even with a cubic foot of space, we can still make it possible. Plus, we only have 10 seconds to climb 11 feet, and this is the quickest way possible.

I was thinking of using surgical tubing since that would light weight and easily stretched. With no height limit this year, it should be too difficult to make a catapult that could possible also double as an arm.
