Today I attempted to make a trebuchet (click here to find out what a trebuchet actually is) out of wood. It was 36 inches wide, 1 and a half feet tall, and had a counter weight of 15 pounds. Me and my friend designed it ourselves and it chucked a tennis ball 40 feet. I still can't believe it.
Photos to follow.
