Team Scraps and The Five Finger Special

Join the inventive minds of Team Scraps as they unveil The Five Finger Special, a remarkable 5-meters high and 1-meter long catapult designed by Andrew Williams, Blake Day, Michael Raup, and Jordan Brown. This innovative creation weighs 4.8 kgs and works by stretching rubber bands to convert elastic potential energy into kinetic energy, propelling the arm upwards to a height of 1 meter. Follow the step-by-step guide to fire the catapult and watch as projectiles soar through the air with precision. The credits go to the brilliant minds behind this engineering feat, with a special mention to Charles for not helping at all.

  1. Team Scraps and The Five Finger Special Andrew Williams, Blake Day, Michael Raup, and Jordan Brown

  2. Team Scraps and… • (Left to Right): Michael Raup, Andrew Williams, Blake Day

  3. The Five Finger Special

  4. Details • Dimensions: • Height- .5 meters • Width- .5 meters • Length- 1 meter • Weight: • Catapult Arm- 2.5 kgs • Base- 2.3 kgs • Total Weight- 4.8 kgs

  5. How it Works • Rubber bands are stretched. • The Elastic Potential Energy from the rubber bands turns into Kinetic Energy which pulls the arm. • Which pulls the weight up to the required 1 meter height.

  6. Steps to Fire • First arm catapult (Attaching Rubber Bands) • Attach the String with weight to the arm • Tie down Arm to prepare to fire • Cut string and…bombs away

  7. The End Credits: Thanks to Michael Raup, Andrew Williams, Blake Day, and Jordan Brown. …and No Help From Charles
