You say catapult, I say trebuchet

The latest engineering challenge was to design and build a catapult to launch a marshmallow. After looking at different kinds of catapults and watching a video of a working trebuchet the Innovators set to work.

 No catapult is complete without adequate bling!
 Testing!





 Then the battle lines were drawn as each team got three tries to shoot their marshmallow the furthest. And while the counter weight was a great idea, not sealing the top resulted in flying beans.


And what do you do with leftover marshmallows? See who can get the most in their mouth. The winner was ten!
