Basic Catapult/Trebuchet
Description
A quick catapult design I threw together for a simple "trebuchet" project. Not very elegant, created in Tinkercad. Needs some work, but is designed to use washers as the counterweight for small projectiles. Scaled to incorporate the bearings from: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2746804 For anyone doing a similar project: - Make the frame taller and base larger (more sturdy) - Make the arm longer (the further out the weight is, the more torque and more power)(the longer of a circumference that the projectile travels, the more inertia it builds up) - Add a stopper (mine currently stops itself because the weight bottoms out) I might go on to upgrade this for my own pride, but don't count on it. Best of luck, fellow nerds
