throwingobject's posterous http://throwingobject.posterous.com Most recent posts at throwingobject's posterous posterous.com Mon, 26 Apr 2010 11:35:41 -0700 What we have done so far http://throwingobject.posterous.com/what-we-have-done-so-far http://throwingobject.posterous.com/what-we-have-done-so-far Just giving an update what we have done so far. Last week we watched a PBS movie about how to build a trebuchet. This two hour video gave us some ideas for what to do that will make out trebuchet more reliable and stable. The movie also made us aware of some of the concerns that come up when building a life size trebuchet.

Ben's thoughts: trebuchet are sweet

well that was inciteful ben haha

Currently, we are building our model trebuchet. We have sketches of the model we are planning to build and currently we are screwing together the arm, which has been taking the most time, out of any of the pieces build thus far.

currently we are running into problems with the wood splitting. we are hoping to be done with our model by the end of the week.
