Trebuchet

Recently we were given the design brief for our new task. We are to design and fabricate a trebuchet capable of propelling a golf ball as far as possible. I am going with Emily for this task, and we have decided that we would like to attempt to make a trebuchet instead of just a catapult, and if it doesn't work we can just revert back to the catapult design. This week we are working on designing our trebuchet, and researching some of the history surrounding them. Hopefully we'll be able to start in the workshop early next week.
