Now, with the marker cap in the counterweight assembly, attach the swing arm by snapping the attached clothespin between the CDs and onto the marker cap. If properly assembled, the swing arm should rotate back and forth unobstructed. Step 12 In this step you will prepare two different components that will be used to hold and center the swing arm assembly onto the frame. Prior to starting, locate one plastic ballpoint pen cap and one metal hanger. With pliers or wire cutters, cut a straight section out of the metal coat hanger approximately 1½ inches longer than the distance between the frame supports.
Step 2 Combine both triangle assemblies from step 1 into a single frame by adding three plastic ballpoint pens as cross braces. First, remove the ink cartridges from the pens (optional). Then attach each pen to one of the corners of the pencil assembly using one rubber band on each end to secure it in place. Continue fastening the pens to both triangles while keeping the triangles aligned with one another. You might have to bend the finished frame to straighten out the design. Step 3 With pliers, make two 90-degree bends in the large paper clip, using the bottle cap as a guide: the distance between the bends should be the same as the cap’s diameter.
Once it is securely fastened, feed the string through the lower punched hole in the plastic frame. To fire the Mousetrap Catapult, carefully set the mousetrap and then load ammo into the plastic spoon. With one hand, hold down the frame on either side, and use your other hand to pull the string. If the power of the catapult pulls it away from your hand, use rubber bands to mount the catapult to a heavy book. Remember to use eye protection, especially for a spring-loaded launcher! Since the Mousetrap Catapult is spring-loaded, anything can happen.
