Hello. Looking at the flipper of the Knife Edge for full volume.(seen the idea on youtube from ben) I would like to adapt it for a robot we are building. How will I construct the mechanism, so it can catapult blocks from the holding zone and /or catapult blocks into the containers. Never create a low catapult before.
Give us some video/image/forum reference links to what you’re looking at.
For the knife-edge robot, it would be hard to apply it to your robot unless it is very low, as even if it could go into the supply zone, a tall robot would block the cubes from being launched.
If you are attempting to recreate the robot, Ben offers a website in which he can email you images.

the robot itself is just a low drivetrain, with a motor inside that runs an l-connector downwards, connected to a plate with a wedge.
here is another video of a similar robot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njMK9wKfGMg (similar robot)
