Can we make a trebuchet with a counterweight?

Posted by: BAILEY in Uncategorized

Yes!   As #2 states in the challenge packet “2.  The launching force must be supplied by elastic solids (springs, rubber bands, etc.) or by gravity. ”

Since a trebuchet is using gravity (in the form of a counterweight), they are allowed.  A trebuchet is actually a specific type of catapult.
