Our trebuchet that we made was not as successful as we thought it would be. When we tried to launch the tennis ball our weight holder (pail) broke and so we didn't get the ball launched at all. We had to make a lot of changes to our trebuchet. We had to make our throwing arm longer and we had to create a releasing mechanism. As for our pail, we replaced it with a heavy duty rubber pail that had a steel handle. This pail could be attached to the throwing arm with wire. This pail was able to hold all the weights we needed.
A new pouch was also designed.
