I am part of a robotics team and even though I know very little engineering I would like to create a t shirt slingshot without latex. Any ideas on bands I can use for that, that is not latex

A Non-Latex T-Shirt Slingshot is a device made from a t-shirt and rubber bands that can be used to launch small objects, such as ping pong balls, for robotics team activities. It is a safer and more cost-effective alternative to traditional slingshots made from latex materials.
The t-shirt is folded and stretched over a frame with rubber bands attached to create a pouch. The object is placed in the pouch and the rubber bands are pulled back and released, propelling the object forward.
Using a Non-Latex T-Shirt Slingshot is a fun and safe way to incorporate hands-on activities into robotics team meetings. It also promotes teamwork and critical thinking as team members work together to design and improve their slingshot designs. Additionally, it is a more budget-friendly option compared to purchasing traditional slingshots or other expensive equipment.
Yes, the Non-Latex T-Shirt Slingshot can be customized to fit the needs and preferences of the robotics team. The size, shape, and number of rubber bands can be adjusted to achieve different levels of power and accuracy. The t-shirt can also be decorated or painted to add a personal touch to the design.
As with any activity involving projectiles, safety should always be a top priority. It is important to establish rules and guidelines for proper use of the slingshot, such as wearing safety goggles and only launching objects in a designated area. It is also recommended to have adult supervision during use, especially for younger team members.
