Question: how did you vary the distance on the catapult to shoot at different angles?

In 2013 we started mating cylinders together to create a four position system. We repeated this concept in 2014 and have found it useful yet again. This year the two cylinders we stacked are the same length so we only have 3 positions. We fire one for a close (short) shot and both for a far (long) shot. Flow controls on all the ports help tune the shots.
As an example you can make out a set of paired cylinders in the bottom right of this 2014 pic. One cylinder rod points up while the other one points down.
Our other thread had a similar question and answer.

Picking up tetra's is going to be as easy as picking up a person of the opposite sex.
While a select few will master it; others will be bumbling maroons..
