Lego Trebuchet
About a year and half ago, I brought almost all of my Lego bricks into work where a coworker (Alex) and I built a trebuchet. Even though I took pictures of it, I never did anything with the pics so, FINALLY, here they are:For those that care, other than the sling, the only non-lego part(s) used in the creation was the counter-weight. For counter weights we used pachinko balls. (If you don't know, think of a pachinko ball as a 1/2 inch steel ball bearing.) If I remember correctly, we were able throw a mouse ball with an initial impact distance of 16 feet. We also built a different sling to launch one of the pachinko balls. That left a small dent the wall - after which went back to mouse balls which were safer. Posted by Davy at August 15, 2003 10:03 PM
