Our trebuchet was very successful with distance it went the furthest out of all of the trebuchets. It's farthest distance was 51.22m. As well on the distance competition day every one of our throws was within a meter and a half of each other. This means that our trebuchet is consistant at achieving the long distance of around 51m.
In order to prepare for the accuracy part of the competition we are going to shorten the length of our throwing arm and add bungee cords around the top of our trebuchet. The bungee cords will stop the counterweight from falling the full height as well as restrict the throwing arm from swinging as fast as it normally would.
