Paper Trebuchet Wooo!!!

Our paper trebuchet is used so our group can get a better understanding of the concept. It showed us the five factors that effect the trebuchet. The performance factors, which we can control, are the arm length, the release angle and also the mass of the counterweight. These are very key to the success and throw of the projectile. The other two factors, which are environmental and can not be controlled, are air resistance and gravity. This paper model has really allowed us to get a better grip on the trebuchet and we are now feeling confident in our final model.
