Result of weekend project with my friend James Eggleston and my brother Doug Munroe. The projectile (three soda cans taped together) landed back in the woods. You can see falling leaves cut by its passage. More at blag.xkcd.com.

  • Yes I agree

  • Oh, you!

  • I wanna build on of these so badly now.

    They look so awesome when they fire off.

    The last spurt of energy when it just flings forward.

  • it's even better than ultimate tree house

  • "check please" <- culdn't have thought of anything better??

  • I THOUGHT IT WAS COOL

    should've left it in a bit more.

  • Awesome trebuchet. REALLY makes me wish I'd taken more video when we did them for high school physics. Hurtling a tennis ball 100+ feet down a driveway at an oncoming car while your friend screams "DON'T PULL THE TRIGGER" is such a fun way to spend a Saturday.

  • In hindsight, I sort of wish that had been cut. *shrug*

  • that was cool..
