Works for me. 00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:11.926 -Versus the young guys. -Team Youth. 00:09:12.009 --> 00:09:15.137 -Ha, you guys are gonna die sooner. 00:09:15.221 --> 00:09:18.599 I'm gonna design a catapult, and you guys design your piece of junk. 00:09:18.683 --> 00:09:20.101 I have a plan already. 00:09:21.811 --> 00:09:23.479 -Okay. Go. -Angry old men. 00:09:23.563 --> 00:09:25.898 -You guys draw on a piece of paper. -Have fun. 00:09:25.982 --> 00:09:29.110 For the catapoop, I have a pretty interesting idea. 00:09:29.193 --> 00:09:31.404 It's gonna have like a cup on it, like this. 00:09:31.487 --> 00:09:35.658 And that will be the thing that has the litter box with the cat turd ammo in it. 00:09:35.741 --> 00:09:36.951 How does it work, you ask? 00:09:37.034 --> 00:09:40.079 In the old days, they would take rope, bundles of rope, 00:09:40.162 --> 00:09:43.124 and wrap it around the outside of the frame of the catapult. 00:09:43.207 --> 00:09:44.584 And then they'd put an arm, 00:09:44.667 --> 00:09:47.086 usually a big log or timber or something like that. 00:09:47.169 --> 00:09:50.089 They'd stick the wood in the rope, and then they'd twist it back. 00:09:50.172 --> 00:09:51.340 Twist it. Yeah. 00:09:51.424 --> 00:09:53.551 Twisting the rope creates tension, 00:09:53.634 --> 00:09:56.262 and because the rope naturally wants to untwist, 00:09:56.345 --> 00:09:59.056 it propels the arm forward as it does so. 00:09:59.140 --> 00:10:02.143 But how do you make sure that whatever's at the end flings into the air 00:10:02.226 --> 00:10:03.686 and not directly at the ground? 00:10:03.769 --> 00:10:06.188 By putting a crossbeam or a brace at the top 00:10:06.272 --> 00:10:08.524 that will stop the range of motion of the arm. 00:10:08.608 --> 00:10:10.192 Once it hits the brace, 00:10:10.276 --> 00:10:13.946 that's where it stops short and throws the cat poop. 00:10:14.030 --> 00:10:15.031 All right. 00:10:15.114 --> 00:10:18.075 So using the rope's tension and stopping the momentum of the arm 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:20.911 is what we will use to make the cat dung fly. 00:10:20.995 --> 00:10:23.623 And then it would shoot like that. Any input? 00:10:24.123 --> 00:10:26.500 No. I love it. I think the idea with the rope is great. 00:10:26.584 --> 00:10:29.629 -Make it look medieval to intimidate them. -Yeah. 00:10:32.298 --> 00:10:33.966 -Trebuchet. -Trebpoochet. 00:10:34.050 --> 00:10:35.259 Trebpoochet. 00:10:35.343 --> 00:10:39.180 A trebuchet is basically a big triangle with a pivot point. 00:10:40.014 --> 00:10:41.390 Why a triangle shape? 00:10:41.474 --> 00:10:44.977 'Cause not only is a triangle the sturdiest, strongest geometric shape 00:10:45.061 --> 00:10:46.896 when it comes to distribution of weight, 00:10:46.979 --> 00:10:50.483 but for a trebuchet it has a flat, strong base for the bottom, 00:10:50.566 --> 00:10:53.778 and a fulcrum pivot point at the top, which everything will hinge from. 00:10:53.861 --> 00:10:54.945 Okay. 00:10:55.029 --> 00:10:57.031 -So that's the throwing arm. -Okay. 00:10:57.114 --> 00:10:59.075 There's one short side and one longer side. 00:10:59.158 --> 00:11:01.994 On the long side, there's a sling attached that holds the poop. 00:11:02.078 --> 00:11:04.622 On the shorter side, we'll attach a counterweight. 00:11:04.705 --> 00:11:08.125 And as that counterweight drops, gravity pulls the weight down, 00:11:08.209 --> 00:11:11.545 whipping the long side of the arm with the sling under and around, 00:11:11.629 --> 00:11:14.423 and at that point, cat poo goes a-flyin'. 00:11:14.507 --> 00:11:15.633 Cool. I get it now. 00:11:15.716 --> 00:11:20.096 That's just a basic geometry of it. Don't know what we'll make this out of. 00:11:20.179 --> 00:11:22.807 I mean, if they go wood, we should probably go steel. 00:11:22.890 --> 00:11:25.184 -Super strong? -Make it super strong. 00:11:25.267 --> 00:11:28.020 Not only should we win, we should completely crush them. 00:11:28.104 --> 00:11:29.021 Yeah. 00:11:38.698 --> 00:11:39.699 Let's play. 00:11:58.050 --> 00:12:00.469 -Trebuchet time. -We're building a trebuchet. 00:12:00.553 --> 00:12:04.390 You're gonna pull "a Jimmy" and make a little model and show me how it works? 00:12:04.473 --> 00:12:05.433 I'm gonna play Jimmy. 00:12:05.516 --> 00:12:07.727 You're gonna be grumpy, be like, "Check out this model." 00:12:07.810 --> 00:12:08.978 "Kids… Ugh." 00:12:09.478 --> 00:12:11.313 -It's a very simple machine. -Very. 00:12:11.397 --> 00:12:13.149 But it's really important our math checks out. 00:12:13.232 --> 00:12:15.234 That means we're gonna take our time and do it right. 00:12:15.317 --> 00:12:17.069 Doesn't matter. I just want to win. 00:12:17.153 --> 00:12:19.029 -I live to defeat Jimmy. -Yeah. 00:12:19.113 --> 00:12:20.698 All I want is his acceptance. 00:12:20.781 --> 00:12:22.491 The only way I get that is by defeating him. 00:12:22.575 --> 00:12:23.868 Jackman's right. 00:12:23.951 --> 00:12:27.413 Obviously, model-making is a very important part of my process. 00:12:27.496 --> 00:12:29.749 Since we'll be dealing with a lot of moving parts, 00:12:29.832 --> 00:12:32.042 quickly whipping up a small-scale catapult 00:12:32.126 --> 00:12:35.713 will expose any potential problems with the design early on. And guess what? 00:12:35.796 --> 00:12:37.006 It's gonna work. 00:12:37.089 --> 00:12:39.592 Those idiots are still trying to figure out math. 00:12:40.384 --> 00:12:42.636 That should be the pivot point there. 00:12:43.304 --> 00:12:45.890 That should be the pivot point where our weight wants to sit. 00:12:45.973 --> 00:12:48.350 Because this is my design there aren't any problems, 00:12:48.434 --> 00:12:50.519 so we're already ahead of the game. 00:12:50.603 --> 00:12:53.147 Hey, Jackman, how's it coming? You doing good? 00:12:53.230 --> 00:12:54.732 -Yeah. -Yeah, good. 00:12:55.316 --> 00:12:58.986 These nerds can take as long they want. We're gonna start actually building. 00:13:00.613 --> 00:13:01.614 Oh. 00:13:01.697 --> 00:13:04.366 Okay. Now we're actually gonna start building. 00:13:04.450 --> 00:13:05.576 We know who's gonna win. 00:13:11.165 --> 00:13:15.085 Before we start flinging cat poo, we need to build a sturdy foundation. 00:13:15.169 --> 00:13:16.837 I think we're gonna go to here. 00:13:16.921 --> 00:13:18.672 That'll give us enough inside the frame. 00:13:18.756 --> 00:13:20.508 Let me draw the line on, then you can cut it. 00:13:20.591 --> 00:13:24.845 We're taking a bunch of 4x4s and cutting them to create our base frame, 00:13:24.929 --> 00:13:26.514 just like the chassis of a car. 00:13:29.058 --> 00:13:32.853 Then we'll notch out grooves so we have a place to lay in our axles. 00:13:41.362 --> 00:13:44.698 We're putting Canadian Pat's expertise on the lathe to good use. 00:13:45.783 --> 00:13:48.953 Let's get medieval on this thing. Yeah! 00:13:56.377 --> 00:13:58.170 He's shaving down a couple of 4x4s 00:13:58.254 --> 00:14:00.422 and using the roughing gouge to round out the ends, 00:14:00.506 --> 00:14:02.508 where we're going to attach the wheels. 00:14:04.927 --> 00:14:07.304 We'll bolt in our wooden axles to the side beams… 00:14:07.388 --> 00:14:08.222 There you go. 00:14:08.305 --> 00:14:09.306 …and now… 00:14:12.518 --> 00:14:15.187 …we have a manly, medieval, wooden catapult frame. 00:14:18.148 --> 00:14:21.443 While what those guys have over there is a triangle. 00:14:21.527 --> 00:14:24.154 Okay, Graz. I think we're ready to start the real trebuchet. 00:14:24.238 --> 00:14:26.448 That'll start with making the frame of the sides. 00:14:26.532 --> 00:14:28.742 So just a bunch of tube steel, cutting and welding. 00:14:28.826 --> 00:14:30.619 -Let's do it. -Let's get started. 00:14:34.123 --> 00:14:38.002 Like I said, a trebuchet catapult frame is made of two metal triangles. 00:14:38.085 --> 00:14:39.628 Try angles. 00:14:39.712 --> 00:14:41.755 Support the weight with angles. 00:14:41.839 --> 00:14:44.008 Try triangles. 00:14:44.091 --> 00:14:48.262 So we'll be cutting metal tube stock into six ten-foot sections. 00:14:49.013 --> 00:14:50.055 Oil me, Jackman. 00:14:50.139 --> 00:14:51.974 Triangles. 00:14:52.057 --> 00:14:54.101 Cut the ends at angles. 00:14:54.184 --> 00:14:56.437 We'll need this thing to absorb a ton of force. 00:14:56.520 --> 00:14:59.481 Luckily, there's one shape structurally designed just to do that. 00:14:59.565 --> 00:15:02.234 -Triangle. 00:15:04.278 --> 00:15:05.738 Triangle. 00:15:05.821 --> 00:15:07.698 What's your angle? 00:15:08.407 --> 00:15:10.910 We're gonna use a MIG welder to combine the three sides 00:15:10.993 --> 00:15:12.453 of the triangle sections. 00:15:12.536 --> 00:15:13.704 Then see what we got. 00:15:14.204 --> 00:15:16.206 Triangles. 00:15:16.290 --> 00:15:17.708 Only one right angle. 00:15:19.585 --> 00:15:21.378 Here comes the square. 00:15:24.089 --> 00:15:27.927 And lastly, we'll make the necessary measurements to properly align the base. 00:15:28.969 --> 00:15:29.887 Oh. Oh. 00:15:29.970 --> 00:15:31.388 Then weld it all together. 00:15:32.014 --> 00:15:33.390 Triangles. 00:15:33.474 --> 00:15:35.643 Our plan wasn't mangled. 00:15:35.726 --> 00:15:36.602 Bam. 00:15:36.685 --> 00:15:39.897 -That looks great. -I love how simple of a machine this is. 00:15:39.980 --> 00:15:41.857 It's beautiful in its simplicity. 00:15:41.941 --> 00:15:43.567 That's how people describe me. 00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:53.827 Jimmy, how big you thinking for the wheels? 00:15:53.911 --> 00:15:55.496 So maybe, uh, like, 27, 28. 00:15:55.579 --> 00:15:57.915 -Yeah. I'll do 28 just for easy numbers. -Okay. 00:15:57.998 --> 00:16:00.834 Our medieval weapon needs medieval wheels. 00:16:03.545 --> 00:16:06.590 So I'm cutting down 4x8 pieces of pine 00:16:06.674 --> 00:16:08.842 and stacking two layers on top of each other 00:16:08.926 --> 00:16:10.636 in a crisscross fashion. 00:16:10.719 --> 00:16:12.471 This will make the wheels strong enough 00:16:12.554 --> 00:16:15.975 to support the heavy weight of the catapult as it rolls. 00:16:18.394 --> 00:16:21.230 Once I screw the boards together into a solid square, 00:16:21.313 --> 00:16:24.942 I'll trace a perfect circle on top of it, using a compass, 00:16:25.025 --> 00:16:27.861 then bring it over to the bandsaw to create the smooth rounded edge. 00:16:31.657 --> 00:16:36.120 I gotta say, the cavemen really knocked it out of the park with the wheel design. 00:16:36.203 --> 00:16:39.456 Not bad for a bunch of hairy, primitive Neanderthals. 00:16:39.540 --> 00:16:42.876 Thankfully, mankind has come a long way since those days. 00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:50.676 This is awesome. 00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:53.595 What we need to do next is to get the rope 00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:55.556 and we'll start testing the tension of the rope. 00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:58.434 We'll get one of those 4x4s that's gonna be our throwing arm, 00:16:58.517 --> 00:17:00.728 and we'll start seeing what we're looking at. 00:17:02.438 --> 00:17:05.399 Okay. So let's wrap that around here a few times 00:17:05.482 --> 00:17:07.818 and start getting a vibe for how this rope is gonna work. 00:17:08.402 --> 00:17:09.737 Here's a quick history lesson. 00:17:09.820 --> 00:17:12.322 In the Middle Ages, they used this twisted rope, 00:17:12.406 --> 00:17:16.326 also called a torsion bundle, to act as a spring for the catapult. 00:17:16.410 --> 00:17:17.911 Let's see what that does. 00:17:17.995 --> 00:17:21.582 But even though the catapult is mostly known as a medieval weapon, 00:17:21.665 --> 00:17:26.295 this method dates way, way back to 350 BCE, whatever the hell that means. 00:17:26.962 --> 00:17:30.257 Okay, get 'em to where you want to go. Let's tie that off on this side. 00:17:30.340 --> 00:17:32.885 Yeah. So, like cavemen catapults. 00:17:32.968 --> 00:17:35.179 If Netflix didn't tell me to read this fact, 00:17:35.262 --> 00:17:36.930 I wouldn't have known it either. 00:17:37.806 --> 00:17:40.768 Now, we're gonna test and see what we need. 00:17:44.772 --> 00:17:47.399 We definitely need more tension. 00:17:47.483 --> 00:17:50.319 -That's why we have the wedge. -Yeah. The wedge is gonna help it. 00:17:50.402 --> 00:17:53.238 Since the rope is made up of fabric that can become stretched out, 00:17:53.322 --> 00:17:55.032 we have to make sure to keep it taut. 00:17:55.115 --> 00:17:58.410 To do that, we put a wedge between the rope and the side beam. 00:17:58.494 --> 00:18:02.039 The more the wedge goes in, the tighter the rope's gonna get. 00:18:03.248 --> 00:18:04.416 Definitely more tight. 00:18:06.293 --> 00:18:07.503 I'm afraid to let this go. 00:18:07.586 --> 00:18:09.838 I'm afraid it'll shoot through the window. 00:18:09.922 --> 00:18:11.673 -Try it. 00:18:11.757 --> 00:18:13.050 Damn. Humans are evil. 00:18:13.133 --> 00:18:16.345 Derek, could you imagine I hated somebody so much, 00:18:16.428 --> 00:18:18.847 all the way over there, I needed to throw something at them? 00:18:18.931 --> 00:18:22.851 -Now you just do it on the Internet. 00:18:25.312 --> 00:18:27.940 -Have you seen what they're doing? -Yeah. 00:18:28.023 --> 00:18:31.110 They're kind of, uh, a little more ahead of us. 00:18:31.193 --> 00:18:33.195 The competition isn't who gets done first. 00:18:33.278 --> 00:18:35.906 It's to throw cat poop the furthest. 00:18:35.989 --> 00:18:38.367 -Exactly. -I just wanna beat them really badly. 00:18:38.450 --> 00:18:40.160 -Stick with me. -All right. 00:18:40.244 --> 00:18:42.871 Eventually this trebuchet's gonna generate a ton of force, 00:18:42.955 --> 00:18:46.416 so we need to reinforce these joints with thick metal plates known as gussets. 00:18:47.793 --> 00:18:51.130 To fabricate them, we're gonna use an industrial plasma cutter. 00:18:51.713 --> 00:18:54.633 I made some designs and programed them into the computer. 00:18:55.926 --> 00:18:58.387 They're just these triangles here. This one has holes in it. 00:18:58.470 --> 00:19:01.890 Our pivot point for the arm is gonna run through that big hole there. 00:19:03.142 --> 00:19:04.309 Let's cut some gussets. 00:19:04.393 --> 00:19:07.771 One, two, three, do it. 00:19:23.203 --> 00:19:24.204 Do it. 00:19:29.168 --> 00:19:31.295 I have to hold back my tears right now. 00:19:31.378 --> 00:19:33.505 I programed the plasma cutter to make more gussets 00:19:33.589 --> 00:19:35.340 that we'll weld to the corners of the frame, 00:19:35.424 --> 00:19:37.509 so it doesn't collapse from the force of the weight. 00:19:38.594 --> 00:19:41.138 Look at this stack of dimes right here. 00:19:41.221 --> 00:19:42.931 With our gussets in place, 00:19:43.015 --> 00:19:45.142 we're gonna start fabricating the throwing arm. 00:19:45.934 --> 00:19:49.855 The throwing arm will obviously be at the top of our triangle on a pivot bar. 00:19:49.938 --> 00:19:53.942 Just imagine Graz here, just less a bearded man or bearded kid… 00:19:54.026 --> 00:19:54.860 This is kinda nice. 00:19:54.943 --> 00:19:56.987 …and more like a steel beam. 00:19:57.070 --> 00:19:58.780 Ready?

I like it. 00:25:56.471 --> 00:25:58.557 We cut the silhouette from plywood on the CNC. 00:25:58.640 --> 00:25:59.975 I like it. 00:26:00.058 --> 00:26:01.101 Let's get started. 00:26:06.940 --> 00:26:08.358 We have a plan here. 00:26:08.441 --> 00:26:11.820 We're gonna take this fabric, wrap it around some plywood, 00:26:11.903 --> 00:26:15.448 create the illusion of this cat standing at the front of the catapult. 00:26:15.532 --> 00:26:18.076 Pat, you had ideas on the eyes and the expression. 00:26:18.159 --> 00:26:21.371 Yeah, for the eyes I was thinking maybe take a round mold 00:26:21.454 --> 00:26:23.999 and pour resin in it, like black resin. 00:26:24.082 --> 00:26:26.209 Yeah. So it's nice and shiny and stuff? 00:26:26.293 --> 00:26:28.712 -Yeah. -Yeah. What expression should she have? 00:26:28.795 --> 00:26:31.381 I don't know.

Boop. 00:27:37.155 --> 00:27:40.784 The first step to catifying our catapoop is to cut a feline shape 00:27:40.867 --> 00:27:41.910 out of plywood. 00:27:41.993 --> 00:27:43.203 This will make it sturdy 00:27:43.286 --> 00:27:46.081 and give us the foundation to attach the foam and the fur. 00:27:49.292 --> 00:27:52.170 The purpose of the foam layer is to give the cat some dimensions, 00:27:52.253 --> 00:27:53.505 make it look 3D. 00:27:53.588 --> 00:27:56.049 If we cover each one with a different fur, it'll look good. 00:27:56.132 --> 00:27:58.551 I decided I wanted to make it look a little dumb. 00:27:58.635 --> 00:28:01.262 I mean, this thing is flinging poop for crying out loud. 00:28:01.346 --> 00:28:04.015 We're not exactly going for lifelike and realistic. 00:28:06.017 --> 00:28:09.813 The next step is to add the fur. And before you start calling PETA on me, 00:28:09.896 --> 00:28:11.981 calm down, all right? It's all fake. 00:28:17.362 --> 00:28:20.490 -It's starting to take shape.

Let's get this thing popped out of the plywood and bring it to Jackman. 00:28:48.226 --> 00:28:51.104 The CNC cut out my design perfectly, 00:28:51.187 --> 00:28:54.566 but I'll still need to use this oscillating saw to finish the cuts. 00:28:59.362 --> 00:29:02.031 Jackman, check out my catwalk. 00:29:02.115 --> 00:29:03.241 Ba-bam. 00:29:03.324 --> 00:29:05.535 That is a mighty big cat.
