Trebuchet Information

There are some interesting trebuchet videos available on YouTube:

• Profile of Hew Kennedy (you should recognize him from the Nova special)
• Japanese Human Trebuchet
• Volkswagon GTI Commercial

If you are interested in making your own, here are plans for a popsicle stick trebuchet.

Finally, here are a few trebuchet related links:

• The Grey Company Trebuchet Page
• Trebuchet.com

Enjoy!
