YAY it's TREBUCHETS!!!

[XJ]

There are desktop-size trebuchets available in kit form. Simple assembly, even for <10yo with just a bit of supervision.

It made me the coolest uncle for a week or so.

Now that's a show I haven't considered or heard mentioned in a long, long time. I didnt even recognize Ray's reference to it.

I don't know if he was referencing it, but I recall the episode ending with them chucking a kitchen appliance with it.

Wow, whomever owns the rights to NE is a scrooge. If I want to watch, I have to buy. Seems there's some issue with the soundtracks too.

Anyone have photos of their tray-boo-shays ?

Yep, even if you buy the episodes on DVD, they don't have a lot of the music the show had. I'm sure it has something to do with money, but it was never resolved.

My son competed in the trebuchet event for Science Olympiad in middle school, finished first in state and ninth in the nation one year.

That is impressive.
Do you know if it was tractional or counterweight?

Post a pic!

My teenage son's first job was running the trebuchet at a local pumpkin farm capable of 600' tosses.

Awesome. Does he put it on is resume'?

Asking because I'd say something such as
'Counterweight Weapons Specialist'
& I'd never take it off. -lol

If you've ever been a baseball pitcher, can't you claim to be a "human trebuchet"?

I saw a movie like that once.
