California Baptist Floating Arm Trebuchet

We build and launch a floating arm trebuchet in this video. I used stop motion to show the building and video footage for the firing of the trebuchet

cool vid! one quesion, is the school of engineering cool and fun at cal baptist?

@danrod2010 Yes! After two years i can still say i love it. It really is a great atmosphere where you can get to know fellow students and professors, and the program is really well designed for the student. we all have lots of fun even studying together, and of course learn tons too.

you should make an appointment with the dean, he has a great vision and heart. let me know if you have any other questions i can answer.

I'm trying to build a floating-arm trebuchet similar to the one in your video. do you have any plans/designs/schematics that I could look at for assistance? thanks
