| Hi Ben, I think I will write something up about trebuchets for classic-castle.com if you are still interested. I would like to do some more experimentation first, so it might be a few days. James (21 years ago, 12-Dec-03, to lugnet.castle)

| Hey, Cool, Very Cool! I think the overall design of the trebuchet is great. If I am not mistaken I think that you can reduce the "rolling" that the trebuchet makes if you make the weight hinged at the end rather than having it fixed. This will make (...)
