So my friend Susan was in a class called "Advanced Prop Design" this spring (she is a theater major). They had a final project to build a large working structure. She built a giant trebuchet, and finally got to take it home today. Me and a few of her friends got to help her test it out. Luckily she lives in an apartment next to a giant field. We used water balloons and beer cans as ammo. I snapped some photos on my phone.  The beast.  Being pushed into place.  Loading.  Ready to go.  Right before launching. I shot some quick video clips on my phone too, although they are blurry and all that, you can still see the can come out of the basket. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v27/AgentWhale/Catapult/?action=view¤t=05-26-07_1829.flv - Video Link Here is the first try, where the projectile came out the back. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v27/AgentWhale/Catapult/?action=view¤t=05-26-07_1809.flv - Oops. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v27/AgentWhale/Catapult/?action=view¤t=05-26-07_1746.flv - Oops 2 -------------

Yeah, adjusting sling release on a treb can be a pain.  Neato, but I feel I must ask, using your phone for something other than calls? OMG NO WAY! -------------

Build a trough down the center so you can bring the arm all the way down. It helps to build up more inertia on the projectile.

I don't think she is that serious about it really. -------------
