Only two drawings of his catapult have been found, and we have modified it to make it easier to make, and use, as a working historical model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the Medieval catapult the force of twisted rope is used, this uses the tension stored in bent wood to hurl objects, usually over 15 feet. With no modifications you can experiment flinging with grapes, and those fun mini marshmallows too! A great way to introduce graphing for kids!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to make in about an hour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural untreated wood from sustainable forests\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll pieces pre-cut and ready to go\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParts are pegged for extra strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges 14+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/main\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/main\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/main\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/main\u003e","brand":"Pathfinders","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50103665328374,"sku":"PFD-17","price":31.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/9057\/9958\/files\/catapult.jpg?v=1773334513","url":"https:\/\/railwaycityhobbies.com\/products\/pathfinders-stem-kit-da-vinci-catapult","provider":"Railway City Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
