Let's start.

Drag a box onto the workplane.

Resize the box so it has a height of 10mm; a length of 60mm and a width of 60mm.

Now drag another box onto the workplane.

Resize this box so it is tall and thin with the height of 60mm ;the length of 20mm and the width of 20mm.

Drag a hole in the form of a cylinder to the workplane.

Change the diameter to 10mm and the length to 11mm. We want the catapult arm to move smoothly.

Use the teardrop shaped tool that appears just above the object when you click on it.

First use the tool to make the pylon hover 10mm from the workplane.

Second make the cylinder/hole hover 40mm high.

Now drag the cylinder/hole so that it is positioned in the cylinder with 5mm on either side.

Now group the object.

Group the object by placing the cursor over the workplane and dragging a red dotted line around the hole and the pylon. Then press the button on the top of the screen that shows a square fused to a circle. Now you have grouped your pylon.

Copy and paste your pylon and rotate the copy so it's hole is opposite the originals. You now have your two pylons.

Manoeuvre the pylons onto the baseplate. Make sure you have no overhangs.

Group the pylons and the baseplate.

Group the object by placing the cursor over the workplane and dragging a red dotted line around the pylons and the baseplate. Then press the button on the top of the screen that shows a square fused to a circle. Now you have grouped your base for the launcher.

Drag a solid cylinder from the bar and give it the diameter of 9mm and the length of 40mm.

Drag another box onto the workpane give it the height of 9mm; the length of 50mm and the width of 18mm.

Group the cylinder and the rectangle. make sure the cylinder is in the exact middle of the rectangle.

Group the object by placing the cursor over the workplane and dragging a red dotted line around the cylinder and the rectangle. Then press the button on the top of the screen that shows a square fused to a circle. Now you have grouped the catapult for the launcher.

Using the teardrop like hovering tool let the catapult hover 30mm.

Now change the colour to what ever you like.

Change the colour by pressing on the circle that has the words solid underneath it. Choose a colour, I choose black.

Now change the colour of the baseplate/pylons to what ever you like.

Change the colour by pressing on the circle that has the words solid underneath it. Choose a colour, I chose green.

Move the catapult so the cylinder rests comfortably in the two holes.

Drag a box to the workplane.

height: 20mm width: 20mm length: 30mm

Drag in another box.

height: 9mm width: 12mm length: 20mm

Make the new red box hover 20mm.

Move the small box on top of the larger one and group. Remember no overlaps.

Let this new shape hover 10mm.

Manoeuvre the new shape between the two pylons.

Change the colour of the shape to green or some other colour and group it with the base plate. You have completed the launcher.
