Catapults

Dating back to thousands of years ago, catapults have always been a useful tool. Everyone loves catapults. Kids make them at science fairs, and adults make them, for the fun of it. Now you can use this catapult guide to win that science fair, or knock down your neighbor's house.

Do you have to have special privileges to make a guide or can anyone do it?

Kiteman says:

I have to wait for the decorations to come down now - the tree is standing where I want to video it. I could post it now, without a video...?

dombeef says:

Maybe? You can post the video later.

Yeah, you have a big variety of instructables, expect to see more, in my guides.

Kiteman says:

Oh, how about a guide of projects inspired by Robot? Like Smart's paper model, and Caitlinsdad's cartoons.

Nov 27, 2008. 6:04 PMmg0930mg (author) says:

Hmmm... I may do that, unless you want to do it, just pm noah.

hey mg0930mg, can you add my catapult?

Jun 1, 2009. 4:38 PMmg0930mg (author) says:

I'm so sorry. This looks great, but coding for a guide is not my job, lol. I have no clue how to add it. If noahw, or someone will add it that'd be great, but i don't know,yet.

Jun 2, 2009. 1:20 AMTNEN says:

oh ok, but thanks anyway.

Jun 4, 2009. 4:54 PMmg0930mg (author) says:

your welcome

ZOMG A trebuchet is not a catapult people.....

Jul 30, 2009. 1:53 PMtacamaral says:

Yes, it is. A catapult is any big device which throws projectiles without using explosion. What most people think about when someone says "catapult" is actually called an "onager". : )

Jan 20, 2009. 1:31 PMbylerfamily says:

Nice guide! I do wish they would let you publish a guide without pm ing anyone.

Jan 20, 2009. 4:00 PMmg0930mg (author) says:

You can't even pm them anymore. They decided to stop. However, they are making it into a way so users can make guides. I think I heard in the next few months! =D
