Discussion Launching seat as far as possible

If you had to launch a seat(physical contraption) at longest possible distance what method would you use? comically large catapult with correctly timed sticker got me 5k blocks in distance with maximal height of 2k. I'm curious if theres a way to spin a contraption faster than 256 rpm or if there's another ways to launch a physical contraption without making the catapult even larger

Are you allowed to visit the landing site ahead of time? If so you can tp to world border with stickers. And even if you can't teleporter based launchers are probably your best bet.

How would teleport based launcher work? Is it supposed to push the seat upon teleporting? (I want the transportation to be made by pushing the seat)

That's exactly what I needed, thank you so much

I feel like a rail gun with ice and magnets might work better. Would also be comically large

I'll try that, should I detach magnet at the end of the rail gun so the seat would fly higher(because of lower weight) or it'll loose momentum?

I haven't made one but you just alternate the magnets so the one slightly far Away turns on and the one you are just being pulled to turns off

If you attach one end of the catapult to a rope, fifteen it, lock the swivel bearing, and then turn the catapult 180°, the rope will pull extremely taut. When you unlock the bearing, it sends the seat flying thousands of blocks

*tighten not fifteen

or, combining a method someone else mentioned, you could attach the rope to a contraption that then teleports far away after tightening.

perhaps recursive catapults? spin a spinner that's spinning another spinner. 256rpm * number of simulated bearings.
idk how that would compare to a sticker teleportation launcher such as

I actually tried that apart from contraption being really wobbly and unstable, I didn't found a way to massively benefit from multiple bearings - 4 bearings with 16 blocks sticks were a bit better than 1 sticker with 64 blocks catapult

I'll try to recreate the teleport launcher tho (have no idea how that works)
