The use of creative thinking was a vital component of creating the Catapult. There were many ways of creating the catapult, but given the materials we had, we created what can be seen above. When pressed down, the spoon launches the ball. Our base was quite sturdy, and nothing broke, but instead of getting distance, we got height. The competition was for distance and not height, which resulted in our ball getting launched into a light. In the end, we were unable to fix the height issue, but we were still able to create a successful catapult that launched the ball.
