When Leonardo da Vinci was not busy painting, sculpting or otherwise being brilliant, he spent some of his time drawing mechanical throwing machines. Now you can match wits with da Vinci and put your coordination skills to the test with this build it yourself, working re-creation of his 15th Century catapult.

With just an hour of assembly time, this bad boy can hurl a small clay ball over four meters, which comes in handy for ambushing pesky kid brothers or protecting cubicles from annoying co-workers.
