Check out this video Mr. Gamble captured and watch the 362's scouts launch a hedgeapple around 200 feet with only some wood and rope (and concrete) that we designed and built from scratch. The scouts next to us had the same design but were disqualified for using metal and screws.
This trebouchet contest was a first for the Blue Elk District Camporee, and I hope we do more events like this. Medieval Weaponry is cool!
We learned that a trebouchet is a lot like a catapult, but uses a counterweight instead of a spring.
