designed to terrorize the cat, now's your chance.

So have you figured out how to build a mechanism to trigger perhaps
half a dozen projectors in sequence.

I built a multi-shooter.  I just used a cam to hit each of the triggers
in turn.

And after you figure that out, perhaps figure out how to reload one
from a supply of projectiles. I've tried this challenge and so far, haven't
had a lot of luck.

I wondered whether you could tie a light string to the back of the dart
(after it's loaded into the projector) - and then reel in the string
after the dart is fired in order to reload it.

Have you tried that?
