Trebuchet Update

I finally completed my trebuchet. I finished painting it this past weekend. I was going to get some video of it in action but the weather wasn't all that great. I am currently working on a design for a trebuchet on a much larger scale. I would like to build one that I could take camping on the Mississippi. It would need to launch a golf ball or potato a good 250 yards. So that we could hit a barge. The other issue is that it needs to be light weight in order to get it out to the island. I plan on using humans as the counterweight. This is a pretty cruel drawing of what I am envisioning.
