I'm doing a summer camp at the college for middle/high schoolers. Planning to fabricate some mini trebuchet kits they can assemble (to launch ping pong balls) and then make a "big" one we can wheel outside afterwards for fun. Working on little prototypes currently.
Does anyone have any good resources on trebuchet specs?
I wish the Pumpkin Chunkin festival were still in Delaware. I always enjoyed the different trebuchet designs.
Here are some related links.
Please share the fun results!
