A robotic slingshot stabilized by the floor and wall. When the button is pressed, the blue led lights change to pink and the servo motor attached to the wall rotates horizontally. As it rotates, it releases the string attached to it. As it releases the string, the rubber band is released at a high velocity due to its previously stored energy. The rubber band hits the ball/small object on the pedestal, launching it a somewhat large distance.
