Firing a Trebuchet with Dan and Mike

We're on the youtube now.... for educational purposes of course.

Dan shows us how to fire some serious siege weaponry in this DNG educational short. Mike the medieval enthusiast joins him in destroying melons (the fun way).

With the war weasel being forced into silence this season, I wonder... what's the best 'modern' use you can think of for a trebuchet?

The 2011 Double-Firing

The double-firing of cantaloupe and pickles from Weekend 2.

After a stunning show that fired one melon in a beautiful arc that possibly broke a distance record, we fired a second shot that nearly brought down our own wall. Such finicky machines... God I love trebuchets.

And we're back! After some fine tuning we're already hitting amazing launch lengths! Hope to see you out there this year, we fire at 1:30 and 5 each and every faire day.

So, what shall we fling in the coming year? We should be able to handle anything under 12 lbs. Suggestions?

Physics Games - Crush the Castle

I couldn't make it to the trebuchet this weekend, but fortunately I found this!

A physics-based trebuchet game similar to Castle Clout. Satisfy your appetite for destruction by launching various projectiles at castles.

Thanks to those of you who braved the rain on Saturday to witness the special double-shot of War Weasel goodness! We'll be back next weekend!

Which was better: The arm breaking, the bucket smashing into the frame itself, the rotten apples that were launched straight up, or the accidental record distance during FatFar?
