Trebuchet

 

Last weekend, we continued the tradition of Romans v Barbarians by building a trebuchet out of tinkertoys. Actually, the design was inspired by a Mythbusters episode where they turned a bucket-lift into a kind of similar siege weapn by resting it on some enromous shipping containers and flinging Buster out. We got the trbuchet to flig stuff reasonably far though it wasn't very stable.
