For our Physics class each group had to make a trebuchet that was smaller than 1 cubic meter (hence it being a Mini trebuchet. This group (which called themselves Diablo) made a Floating Arm Trebuchet, and at its best, it went 182 feet. It went from the 50 yard line to the goal post.

There was a competition on whose trebuchet was best overall. It was measured by Distance traveled divided by counterweight times cubic meters plus overall accuracy. Accuracy was determined by how far it deviated from the center line.
