A motor catapult that can launch things from afar

Supplies

A servo motor, cardboard, wires, switch, cardboard, tape

Attach the Wires

attach 2 positive and negative wires on 10 and 9 then attach 2 small positive and negative wires to both E and F. Then attach a green wire that is connected to the small positive one on G and connect it to 8 on the Arduino.

Add the Motor

this will be the muscle for the catapult. Attach the red wire of the servo motor on the positive side of the breadboard on 3 and the very dark wire on the negative side of the breadboard on 3 the attach the orange wire on ~9 on the Arduino.

Add the Switch

This is how the catapult will be controlled. Attach 1 positive wire on the left connector of the switch to the 3.3V of the Arduino then attach 1 positive wire on the middle connector of the switch to the positive side of the breadboard on 3. Then attach a negative wire next to the positive wire that connects to GND on the Arduino.

Make It Cardboard

Now for the final step. Cut out one cardboard rectangle and one cardboard triangle and attach them together with tape. Then attach the motor to the triangle with tape as well as the switch.
