Team Trebuchet

The Trebuchet is now complete!


Our goal is to find the best design for a trebuchet by experimentation. We plan on varying the arm length and the counter weight mass in hopes of finding the optimal design.


News!

--11/9/00-- Rain sucks, today we adjusted the counterweight some because we found that the lead shot (which we were using as a counterweight) turned out to be messy and didn't work very well. Instead we used just a lead block attached to the throwing arm with a chain, this worked much better, but we have yet to witness the full capabilities of our trebuchet. -Chris

--11/8/00-- Today we finished attaching the trustle to the base, which was a pain. And the trebuchet is essentially finished. -Chris

--11/7/00-- Hey Everyone, I apologize for the site not being updated in awhile, I spent the past weekend and a half haveing troubles with geocities (because I tried to rewrite the website completly) and didn't think to update the old one whie I toyed with the new one. Again I apologize for the lack of updates. -Chris
