The arm cocks to the left and throws downrange to the right (+x). The red arrow is the force the pivot carries.

Run a simulation to see results.

A global optimisation per phase — it takes a few seconds, so it runs only when you ask for it.

Shaft — diameter vs bearing spacing

Shaft geometry cannot change how the machine moves, so the whole map comes from one simulation. This is quick.

Range — release angle, sling length, pumpkin weight

One full simulation per sample, so this one takes real time. Nothing else about the machine changes.
