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.

Does that help?

Here are a few links to what you’re looking for. The second one is a better picture that should give you a base plan to build from. Good luck!
