Miles ★★★★★

Bought this for my robotics class and the kids figured out the mounting in about ten minutes. It holds a ping pong ball steady right up until launch, which is exactly what I needed for our trebuchet demo.

Edward V. ★★★★★

The connectors snap onto our build plate without any wobble, which mattered a lot once the kids started firing golf balls across the room. Holds a ping pong ball upright too, so we used it for target practice and a mini trebuchet demo in the same afternoon.

Timothy W. ★★★★★

My students used this to launch ping pong balls across the classroom and the connectors held everything steady. It clips onto our build easily and the balls stay upright until we release them. Way more fun than I expected for a simple attachment.
