Step 10Make 'er Mobile!
If you want - and we really wanted to, you can add wheels to make the catapult easier to transport - you know, for all of those medieval battles you get into so often.
We found some wheels and axles on an old rusty trailer in the junk pile. We weren't sure if they were up for grabs or not, so we asked around and (if my memory serves me) Tim gave us the green light! We ripped the whole thing off of the trailer and eagerly screwed it into the bottom of the back of our near-finished catapult. We secured it with scrap wood galore, and added some 4x4 stilts to the front of the catapult to keep it level.
To make sure the wheels work, we tugged it around with a forklift for a bit! Hooray for fun!
