Set your projectile mass, counterweight properties etc., along with other factors and launch! Pretty fun.

Wow. My 14 yo son has just finished his second trebuchet, a tabletop model. Made from corndog sticks, he has launched 18 feet across the room. His larger one is about three feet tall and can throw about 40 feet on average. I'll show him this article.
