Kids and hobbyists who like hands-on gadgets will enjoy this catapult. It has a simple arm and base shape, built to launch small, light projectiles across a table or yard. You pull the arm back and let it fly, watching the same basic physics that ancient siege engines used.
This version, catapult v2, comes from a coded design where the arm and base scale to match the projectile size. That means the shape you get is tuned for a specific object, giving it a clean, balanced look. It works as a fun desk toy, a classroom demo piece, or a display item for anyone who likes mechanical toys.
The catapult's simple form makes it easy to spot how the arm and base work together. It is a great conversation piece for anyone curious about simple machines or old-school toy design.
