Lately, I’ve been trying to make a catapult for this season’s game, Level Up. Recently, I’ve made the topic “My catapult is weak”, and I realized the solution to that problem was that the gears in the ratchet Mechanism was making friction. Basically, when the part that is connected to the motor releases, the gears of the part with the rope creates friction. Is lubrication allowed in competitions? If not, are there any solutions to this other than lubricating? Thank you!
Thank you for the reply! But as jpearman said, most of those are not food-safe, but I heard that Super Lube is food-safe, so I might consider using those. Thank you for your effort!
Thank you for the reply! Is there a specific criteria for me to find out if something is “food safe”? Or it it labeled if it’s food safe or not in the lubricant? I haven’t used lubricant before, so please excuse my lack of information. Thank you!
Hello, I don’t think it’s wrong because I don’t have the ratchet gear, so I have to utilize other parts to make it work. Also, it seems to not have any issues (I think).
