2 Player Basketball Game

When I first saw this contest I knew I wanted to do something basketball related. But when I thought about Lego's capabilities, I knew it would be difficult to replicate a sport where the ball is thrown through the air. My solution: a catapult. It worked perfectly! Though after a while it became boring, there was no challenge. So I decided to make a defender, which made the game much more interesting. Now, it is a super fun two player game! You can even move the catapult to shoot half court shots, three pointers, and foul shots.

Piece count (this excludes minifigs and the basketball): 243 pieces.
