The Small picture on the steam page actually contains a working catapult.
Just a few blocks of height can provide sufficient leverage, potentially with a weighted end to pull it down. You can add the weight to a decoupler bound to the same key you use to contract the strings, to provide more velocity for a single shot version.
The reason to use the regular hinge is that you need that freedom of movement; if it automatically explodes or falls apart without steering, it's just not a terrible feasible design.
