A homemade floating arm treb firing a small sand-filled balloon.
We designed and built it in about 2 days, the counterweight can be chosen between 4 and about 20kg (theoretically). For this shot, we used 6kg and the projectile went almost 50 metres.

We had the problem that the little wheel of the throwing arm fell of its tracks when using weights higher than 8kg, but now we fixed it.

Since we don't need it anymore, we plan to increase the counterweight until the whole thing crashes...
