Throwing Machines

My friends Lord Duncan Gabh MacLeod and Lord Edhan Espoir DeBruce have been working hard on making a working trebuchet for use at our public demonstrations. They have allowed me to share the documentation that they submitted for our Kingdom Arts and Science competition in November 2011. They have also posted some of their tests to Youtube which are below.
