Competition Reflection

    In summary, our trebuchet worked quite well. It hurled the tennis ball well over 25m and also was  relatively close to the hula hoop. If we were to modify our current trebuchet, we would design it so that the counterweight was not fixed, this would have made it easier to control the distance for the accuracy competition. Instead of just using two 25lb weights we could have used more smaller weights so that the counterweight could easily be changed.

The black bungee cords were used to slow down the throwing arm for the accuracy part of the competion.
