Won state with a never tested catapult. 193cm and missed first shot but then made 5 in a row. and we never made a catapult before that competition.

what kind of ball did you use?

Also, what was the formula for figuring out the score again?

The formula for scoring is D*(n+1)=total score. D=distance, n=number of balls transported or hit target plate.

Just as a reminder Distance is measured in mm so his score was 1930 times 6

What would you guys expect to be a competitive score for a catapult 12000ish?
And what about bouncer what kind of score would be good for that?

I don't really know what sandwich picks are but you can use toothpicks.
