These are the results from the Hopper Lite design challenge, both for my initial design as well as the swap and make assignment with Chris's design. Below is the prototype for the frog design I initially came up with, which lost its spring after a few trials and could barely hop two inches.
Below is the prototype I came up with for the catapult design based on the hopping motion of the Pixar Lamp. I made two versions of this design, one with a stationary base leg and one with a mobile base leg. Shown below is the photo of the mobile base leg version, which was found to launch farther thanks to the extra movement caused by the base leg snapping forward mid-air after launch.
I ran several tests on my prototypes and recorded all of them, below is an example clip of my most successful trial with the mobile base leg prototype.
