How to build your Flatapult...

Flatapult assembly is quite easy, the video here guides the step-by-step process of assembling the components into a fully functioning catapult. There are three key steps...

  1. Carefully breaking the parts away from the flat-cut board - video link here

  2. Assembling the parts into a functioning Flatapult - see video embedded in this page

  3. Functional test - the Flatapult is designed to launch ping-pong balls

Remember - the assembly guidance is imperfect, you may be tasked to improve this as part of your learning programme!

Characterising, Improving and optimising the performance of the Flatapult... well that's down to you, using the methods, tools, knowledge and skills from your learning programme.
