Technically, it's not a trebuchet because it's not using weight and gravity. But holy crap that was awesome!!!

What did you use for the spring? I am well familiar with the making of a traditional trebuchet, but it seems much more efficient to use a spring, I just wouldn't know where to buy one that works good or how to attach it. Any suggestions?

Wow that was far. Backspin makes it look like it's flying a longer distance though

By any chance can you give me the design for this? I have a school project to do. please email me at fish.can.fly@hotmail.com
