Maybe I should just rig up a little trebuchet thing like that guy in the video.
Not a trebuchet. Springs instead of a counterweight. More of a catapult.
I honestly don't know the distinction, but that's the word the guy in the video used. You're probably right.

If the only thing I ever achieve on here is teaching the difference between a trebuchet and a catapult my hours of posting will be justified. :ugeek:
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.
