  • Hi Richard and Garrett, Im trying to make my own floating arm trebuchet for a similar contest in my High School, (throwing a tennis ball 30 meters). But for some reason I cant figure out the way to throw my tennis ball more than 10 meters. If you could tell me some tricks or send me some drawings, blueprints or whatever I would really thank you a lot. By the way, nice trebuchet !!!
