Test Day - Trebuchet

When we did the tests on our Trebuchets, Jonathan, Nick and myself were slightly disappointed in the performance of our device. It was unable to withstand repeated use due to absence of suitable materials and "shoddy" build structure. Unlike some of the other groups, our Trebuchet was still able to fire forward with an average range of about 20 meters, unfortunately this was not far enough so we went back to the drawing board. The bucket of bolts we were using as our counter weight was an utter failure. This resulted in us completely changing our counter-weight to a 120 pound set of barbells. We also completely reinforced our sidewalls. Hopefully this will prove better.
