Trebuchet Test Day!

Our team decided to go with a FAT (Floating Arm Trebuchet). We were the only group in our class to make a trebuchet like this!  Test day for us wasn't very successful. Our pouch seemed to be holding on to the ball too much and when it should have been releasing the ball, our pouch was not letting go. This caused a bit of stress among our group but the stress was soon relieved when a new pouch was made and the trebuchet worked! We have our fingers crossed that our trebuchet will hold out for competition day. 
Above is a photo of Luke getting our trebuchet all ready to go!
