Trebuchet test day

Our trebuchet threw an average of about 20 meters on test day but our counter weight was becoming damaged after repeted use, and we concensually deemed it innefficent for our purposes. We then revised our counterweight system to provide greater accuracy by useing weighted bar bells as opposed to our previous pail of bolts. We also revised our support system and axle as we were having issues with axle strength and frame rigidity.
