Locking Mechanism for Catapult?
Hi Guys!
My team (Team 1758) has been working on a locking mechanism for our catapult in the past couple of weeks, but we can't seem to come up with a smoothly working design. Our most recent idea was using the locking mechanism of a doorknob. The latch of the doorknob holds down the catapult and a piston pulls back the patch to unlock the catapult. However, due to friction, this mechanism does not work all of the time (maybe 50% of the time). Do you guys have an suggestions for a good working lock mechanism for a catapult system? Thanks!
