With this trebuchet project, our groups biggest problem was being able to find time that we could all work on it, however, we managed to find a couple of afternoons and weeknights that we could work on it. The rest of the project went quite well with a few minor problems along the way that were fixed. One problem we encountered included.
Tips that I would recommend for future students with building their trebuchet include:
-Be sure to have a strong and steady frame to support the counterweight.
-Do not use a fixed counterweight.
-Start building it early, it takes a long time to build.
-Make a good pouch
-Keep it simple
