Giant Lego battleship catapulted 30 feet in the air to destruction!!!

At our school's "Fine arts day" I was leading sessions where we used lego bricks to make mosaics - one dimensional, unlike the "normal" lego building process. To get the kids excited, I built a 5 foot long lego battleship using thousands upon thousands of bricks. In the end it weighed 30 to 40 pounds. Then constructed a crude catapult using a sawhorse, a very long board, a milk crate, and of course, a ladder to jump off, to provide the energy for the destruction. Practiced it a couple times with a cardboard box with some stuff in it so that it weighed a similar amount and was able to launch it pretty good in the yard. With hundreds of kids "drumming" a drumroll on the bleachers, the ship was launched skyward with such force that it actually hit the roof of the gym before smashing into the floor. The kids loved it!
