Welcome!

We are crazy about the Middle Ages. Join us on a journey, back in time, to the Middle Ages where warfare, religion and greed rule societies. Once you have taken the challenge and created your trebuchet, record your results on our blog.

Task...

The trebuchet was a Medieval "hurler" used to knock down castle walls during wartime. Medieval warriors hurled a lead ball from the trebuchet which packed quite a punch if constructed correctly and postitioned in the right place. Your task is to create a working trebuchet, hurl a TENNIS BALL, record your best distance, and let us know your results...
