A friend asked me to build this thing for him to use in a charity event that he is participating in. I guess you are supposed to hit a lever with a mallet and send a rubber frog flying towards a target or a bucket or something. Anybody ever seen this? Got plans/ideas/advice for me?
From what I remember, it's all about levers.
If you take 2 see-saw's and overlap the end of one with the other, you end up with a lever action catapult. When you strike the top of one end, the lower end rises - but so does the lower end of the other see-saw. If something is on the other see-saw's lower end, it will go flying.
HA HAAAAAA! I knew there was a lumberjock out there who could help. Thanks for the good pic. That first link doesn't work for me but the second is a good pic. Too bad its metal. Thanks guys
