22 Feet
Last summer the kids and I built a mini-catapult.
After we put it together I started thinking about building a small trebuchet. I decided that if we were going to make medieval siege engines, we should build one that could throw more than a 1" cube of wet sponge 5 feet.
It took me a while to get it all put together, but we finally did some test fires last month. I present this short video of our results:
Suburban Trebuchet (3.6 MB Windows Media movie)
(It needs a little work.)
