This past week my partner and I have constructed a cardboard trebuchet. We both cut out the pieces and folded them into place. Shelby sewed the pouch and we created a trigger system. After we put it all together, we filled our bucket with 32 two washers and we perfected our release angle as best as possible. After everything was tweaked, we peaked at around 6-6.5 meters. For our accuracy test it took about 4-5 times to hit the target. Near the end of the testing our cardboard wasn't holding up as well, I'm glad we finished in time before it fell apart.
