Post compettition accuracy reflection
Our trebuchet, was the most accurate in the competition as we were only half a meter from the center of the target, but aside from our lucky throw we had a very large range in our throws. This is because we were almost constantly tinkering with our angle of release and the amount of weight for our counterweight. If we could modify our trebuchet we would make the release mechanism more malleable and brace our load bearing arms better. If we were to create a new trebuchet we would make the throwing arm longer, make our base narrower and make sure the frame is more properly braced.
