This is the results of a bachelor project aiming to design a leaping latch mechanism. The goal was to reach the maximum height using only off the shelf and 3D printed components.
This prototype weighs 50 grams and undergoes an average acceleration of around 100 g during the impulse for an initial speed of 9.2 m/s, all thanks to 4 rubber bands.
