I've never heard of that show before and I just watch a bit of it at discovery.com. It's really cool. We'll see if we can get this on, and see how inefficient our release angle is!

Awesome. That definitely puts my Vex ping-pong ball launcher (but actually robot altitudinal booster ) to shame. I wish we did stuff like that in my physics class. I third the recommendation to get it on Time Warp, that's exactly the kind of thing they'd do. And you know you've done a good job on something when you're the reason administrators try to ban it.

Haha, yeah. I head the teacher talking today, and he said that he wasn't worried about safety with this particular catapult or the safety practices of the group, but in the future, who knows what dangerous contraptions less experienced groups would make, without proper safety training?

Any chance you would release the SolidWorks File

I have an outdated .stp file. I'll talk to Bannanakin, who has the most recent one.

If anyone wants the cad, they can private message me their email, or IM me on aim, and i'll send the cad. I can send any format that solidworks 07 will create. I know it makes .step, .sldasm (of course), and .x_t. Those are the most common formats that I use.

I did it this is really cool.. the animation of it swinging is spectacular
