Make The Teeny-Tiny Catapult 2
Now place a two inch piece on the inside of the structure like this.
And tape it firmly into place. Use at least three wraps of tape and do not put any tape in the center area of the sticks. I will show you why in the next picture.
You will be inserting a stick into that space in the middle so that's why you should leave the middle untaped. But don't insert it now. We will do that later.
Now tape two of the four inch stick together side by side like this. You are going to do this twice. Make sure to use plenty of tape and do at least three wraps around.
Make two of these and this is what you end up with. Two assemblies each with two four inch sticks.
Now tape these assemblies to your rectangular base. First you put tape on the long end like this picture shows.
Then tape it the other way like this.
This is what you end up with. The base is completed and you are almost done. Just a few more things and one thing I want to point out about your taping so let's flip this base over and take a look underneath.
See how, underneath, the tape forms nice tight triangles? This will lend a lot of strength to the catapult base. So do at least three wraps and make it nice and tight.
Okay, let's continue with this tiny catapult project
