[Mark McLeod]

Timed loop structures run at an elevated priority to regular code, so it was probably locking out normal operations.

Maybe your catapult loop takes longer than 10 milliseconds to execute? A timed loop runs at a higher priority than normal, and would starve the rest of your program of CPU cycles.
