Floating Arm Trebuchets

Karl built a floating arm trebuchet for a school project at Timbercrest Junior High for Mr. Steinbaugh. One of the requirements was to assemble it without fasteners. The floating arm is efficient because the counterweight falls straight down.

We built this one the year before just for fun. We made many experiments to get the trajectory that would give the greatest distance.
