DIY Trebuchet

This model trebuchet can demonstrate all the principles of the trebuchet as either a counterweight machine,or a wheeled fixed counterweight machine (and back again!) Which is better? Which one is more efficient? More accurate? More fun? Now you can be the judge!

This professionally engineered model requires only glue and a couple of clamps to assemble. It has a 12 inch long arm, is 14 inches from front to back, 6 inches wide and 8 inches tall at the axle. This is a working model capable of tossing the included wooden missiles over 20 feet!

Remember to warn the office staff, cat, wife, kids et al!
