A top view image of my loaded rubber band launcher. It was built with strtips of foam core, wooden sticks, and a metal hook for the trigger. Seen at the back is the hook in loaded position, holding the stretched rubber band. The rubber band is stretched from a cut popsicle stick at the front, angled upwards to fire the band when the trigger is pulled down, releasing the band.
A different view focused on the trigger of the rubber band.
A video of my launcher in action.
