[Mr.Ganji]

I might sell it or donate it to the army for a tax deduction.

Or keep it.

i hope ur being sarchastic

Yeah. Stuff raining down from the sky in the middle of the night. And there's a guy with a gigantic catapult...no one will suspect a thing.

just hide it in the garage during the day

[FireVortex]

Lol i like this idea.

NOT A CATAPULT


While fully portable, that doesn't mean it's quick to put away.

With 300 lbs. alone, it's a 1 hour + setup, and 45 mins to take apart.

I would actually be able to donate the trebuchet to a military base, not for use in a war, which I may have accidentally implied , but for the army college near me. Physics maybe <,<?

Hmm, make a version that takes less time to set up and less time to disassemble. Wait, forgot about the tuning part... Just make a catapult bro.

I kill you.

[Ashikiheyun]

That's awesome!!!!

When I was like 10 or 12 maybe, my dad and I made a little table top trebuchet, it was fun launching marbles and things like that

[exality]

Now that i look at the pictures again thoes brackets look fairly small for the forces exerted on them. I know its made for portability...But isnt safety a factor. Or the pics may just not be doing justice.

[Grimjaw]

That's cool. Now you can launch cleaning kits, garbage bags and brooms to X-Lax's house.

[TacticalMedic]

Take it with you next FW! AWOOO! AWOOO! AWOOO!

[vermillion]

^lol.
modify it so it can pack and unpack

There is a minimum safety factor of four throughout the whole trebuchet.

This means that, at a minimum, everything is being used to 1/4 of it's recommended capacity.

That number lowers to apprx. 3 as the weight is increased to the max.

Safety ftw <,<?

Maybe next time you should make ti so it looks like the font' it's been round the block a few times so it's cool, or make a catapult.

One of these days...

One too many a laxative will be ingested. And you will shi.t your bowels. Literally.





Otherwise, it's being rained on, it's going for that rustic look at the moment, it hasn't gone through it's gangster/hood phase yet. Chances are when I bring the trebuchet to a civil war reenactment, it will be shot. At that moment it will be "round the block" a few times. It will then be named tupac. RAHRHARHARHAH

[Midori]

Why haven't you made that catapult yet? You should use balsa wood, i heard it's good for making that kind of stuff.
