Special notes or requests:
Launcher Requirements:

1.The launcher must be mechanical (human powered) only. No fuel, compressed air, electricity, explosives, and/or other chemical components or any other fluids including but not limited to oil, water and hydraulic fluid allowed. The only exception to this is that teams are allowed to have a small powered winch on the machine to help cock the throwing arm. 2. A safety strap or other mechanism will be required to remain in place at all times on the throwing arm after the machine is cocked until released for firing. This is to insure that no premature launches occur. 3. Catapults must launch overhand and not sidearm.
