Visual Analysis Of Cat Apult

THE CAT-APULT(COPY)

The Cat-apult was created for those who have cats that could never get moving. It can shoot up to 3 meters in distance. You place the food in the storer, turn the crank, push the arm down with your hand and voila, the Cat-apult is loaded. To fire, remove your hand from the arm.

The Cat-apult can also be used with younger siblings by putting a toy or food item (below 3kgs) on the arm and firing like that. Works 85% of the time.

Materials:

-lots of masking tape -motor -2 5cm screws -rubber bands (thick and small) -1 5x5cm circular container & lid -3 rulers, each 30cm long -teal & glitter spray paint -nails & hammer -4 7x7cm wood disks -hack saw -1 1.5cm wide and 30cm long pipe -power drill with 5mm bit -Stanley

I chose the nail to attach the wheel because the wheel will roll better. I covered the project with masking tape so the paint would show more. I chose cardboard because it is easy to work with and it is also quite strong. The rulers are there because they are perfectly straight and you get better results when everything is perfect and precise. I chose the motor because it shows that the model is a prototype. I used rubber bands because they are stretchy and have plenty of potential. I put clay for those tiny details that matter. I put down a Stanley knife because you can’t cut cardboard with normal

Glue the motor to the thirds of cupboard and secure with tape.

6. Drill a hole 10cm up both of the 15x2cm bits of wood and insert screws in each of the holes.

7. Saw about 5cm off the pipe with the hack saw.

8. Tape one 115x2cm hunk of wood to the edge of the piece of 45cm cardboard on the 45cm edge closest to the 7cm edge without the motor.

9. Put the bit of pipe on the screw and repeat step 7 but making sure both screws are in the pipe.

10. Saw about 2cm off the bigger bit of pipe and cut a hole in the container big enough to fit the pipe in.

11. Making sure the top of the motor is smooth, glue the container to the top of the motor so the pipe dangles on the edge of the cardboard.

12. Tape about 3cm of a ruler onto the back of the lid and cut a hole on the brim big enough to fit another ruler parallel to it on the front of the lid.

13. Tape another ruler on the front of the lid so it is parallel to the first ruler. This is the arm.

14. Put about 10 small elastic bands close to the bottom of the arm and make them slip over then around and under the pipe.

15. Fasten the elastic bands to the bottom of the arm.

16. Insert a screw to the bottom of the machine.

17. Wrap a thick elastic band around the bottom of the bottom of the arm and
