The Hila Trebuchet, designed by Wayne Campbell of the Hila Science Camp, is intelligent tabletop warfare.
Watch the video below or just skip straight to the plans and instructions. Just learning about the science and physics behind the trebuchet sure makes you feel smarter!
Boy, there's nothing like War. Estrella War to be certain. I haven't been in two years. Looks like this year will be different.
A friend has just found tickets for $116 round trip. I couldn't drive that cheap! I guess I know what I'm asking for for Christmas.
It was at Estrella War that I saw my first full scale trebuchet, hurling a tennis ball bomb into the enemy lines. I hope there are siege weapons there again this year!
In the meantime, I'll practice with this virtual trebuchet.
