Feel the need to lob tennis balls at those who oppose you? Try checking out these rather nice plans for a small trebuchet. With such a mighty seige engine, none dare oppose your military might!
Seriously though, these things are:
- interesting mechanical devices
- fun to play with
- and excellent for tossing water balloons.
Unless of course, you get hurt, in which case you didn’t hear it from me.

Trebuchets are pretty interesting, that is if you don’t have to perform a design of experiments and correlate the data to systems engineering exercise. Sorry I had to vent. I did a deep dive into the trebuchet for grad school assignment. You can find it here.
The Kingdom of Heaven flick also has some colossal trebs;)
