In this applied mechanics project, students will find the right settings to reliably
launch a
ping -
pong ball from the catapult into a target (such as a bucket or a trash can) from a certain distance away.
As rounds progress, the blocks become tougher, but players also get to
launch more
balls in the air, resulting in a chaotic torrent of virtual
ping -
pong balls bouncing around, smashing bricks and crashing back to the ground.
