I’m looking for a nice, one night project for a stem youth group I work with and the Cataractapult would be a nice change of pace. But…

  1. I don’t support his politics or views.
  2. 15 USD a piece is too expensive for just bare pcbs.
  3. They aren’t available anymore anyway.

If I had the files, I could just get a small pile of them made, have one for every kid and have enough left over for the club sell for fund raising.

For reference, this is what the Cataractapult is.

      My plan B is to make the copy myself, but I’ll need to learn kicad to do it.

      And part of the goal of this is to do a soldering exercise of some sort. We’ve been doing working with an Elegoo kit for the past few months, which is screw assembly and software. I try and keep things varied in the club.
