Actually, it's funny you say that because I am inherantly a very lazy person.
I just hate being bored.

this reminds me of when i first joined NECO. one day i had this girl over and we were looking through pics on www.mc-neco.com and she came accross this pic of this cougar (at the time i didnt know whos it was.) under milan dragway on 4-17. just to make her feel more like a blonde, i told her it was a patato gun and when someone cuts him off they shoots them. she was thought that was so cool. i just tried so hard not to laugh. :rofl:

Must be a Michigan thang.
A trebuchet is a middle ages catapault, so to speak. You'd know one if you saw it.

dunno exactly yet.... i dont wanna throw anyhting too big..cuz there not fool proof, and the last thing i wanna do is drop a 10lb rock on our pole barn or someones car.
Prolly start small get the design flaws worked out (and make it protable for cf2k3...lol) then make a upscaled version of it.
cant make it too powerfull cuz i still have neighbors...
if u do a search theres a file called trebmath35.pdf....its very informative
