I can't even get it to go 10 cm. HOW!!!!

Here are my scores for B Challenges.

Elevated Ramp: 4.83 Meters, transporting all 8 golf balls.
Catapult: 1.02 Meters, 7 golf balls hitting the target plate.
Bouncer: 60 cm, golf ball(haven't tested fully yet)

[skillfullparrot7]

What kind of materials are you guys using to make the arm of the catapult?
I can't seem to find anything strong enough to take the strain of heaving a golf ball more than a couple of meters.

I just use rolled up paper stuffed with popsicle sticks.

Can you tape the collection container for the ramp down to the ground, since it isn't part of the actual ramp?

[akmshr07]

The rules say you can't use tape to secure things to the floor ( it says this in front of tape in the allowed items list)

[skillfullparrot7]

Can you modify cups?

[Littleboy]

Yes why wouldn't you be able to cut cups. Just as long as they are in a normal non modifyed condition when you start.

Can someone define "elevated" for me? I want to know what you consider as elevated.

[skillfullparrot7]

Elevated as in the part where the ball rolls does not touch the ground or the collection container. You have to build something to keep it up.
