Super Sensitive Catapult Trigger Mechanism

The original purpose of this was to be a safer, non-shattering version of my Figure 4 Deadfall Trap miniature, but I realized it has potential for other fun uses:

This can be used as a remote trigger for your own projects, for building Rube Goldberg-style machines, to prank your roommates, or even to drop treats for your cat when it's home alone—THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS!

NOTE! Always ensure that no person or animal is near the mechanism when it triggers. Also keep in mind that it still may break and launch parts in the air.
