On our test day we had problems with our pouch. It was really holding us back from reaching our maximum distance, as well as our arm for the weight was not strong enough and our release mechanism to hold the other string on the pouch was also not strong enough. With these changes our trebuchet started taking shape for competition day and started throwing the ball. We settled with a counterweight of 40 pounds for competition day and it resulted in us having throws of: 1) 22.1 m 2)24.4 m 3)24.5 m 4)24.1 m 5) 23.6 m Avg.) 23.74 m
