  1. Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to get plans for the pumpkin launcher that used the surgical tubing? I have tried looking online several times but my google-fu is failing me right now. I am especially interested in how they managed the release mechanism and how far they were able to stretch the tubing. Thanks – James
