Something else

by the way, as a side note, my little treb looks like the picture of the one below.

Video coming out soon.

I will soon be posting a video of my model trebuchet. Its very small, but is all I have science I have STILL not gone to the home depot. I will be shooting a small stone at a little paper target. I will also use a hand held form of a catapult, commonly known as a slingshot. (yes, slingshots are catapults).

Small Delays

Earlier, i said i would be building a new catapult. as of yet, i have not gotten the material. I have not been able to take the chance to go to home depot yet. I will keep you updated

Different Kinds of catapults

To answer some questions, the difference between an onager and a trebuchet is that a trebuchet is powered by a counterweight that drags the firing mechanism down, and the onager is powerd by tortion.
Hope this answered some questuions

Every week i will post a question about catapults for thought. Enjoy.
