Overview / Outline Research: Operation & Development Guideline & Theory Optimization & Safety Design: Design Simulations Sketches Construction: Building the trebuchet Competition Rank based on score not distance Report: Design Logs Final Sketches

Problem Definition

Introduction Our objective was to build a trebuchet that would launch a one ounce hacky sack with certain constraints The overall grade is based on the performance, analysis, and the implementation of the design

Constraints Dimensions: 2.5 ’ by 3 ’ by 4 ’ Weight: 10lbs, anything over is penalized Counterweight 12 pounds Sling & Counterweight Anchor Non - Metal Trigger 10 ’ from Trebuchet Must be safe Dowel Half-Inch minimum Hardwood

Objectives/Criteria Build a trebuchet Use java simulation Analyze results Graph data Modify Competition Time limit  Pickup  Setup  Launching in optimal conditions

Approach

L1 vs. Distance

Angle vs. Time

Preliminary Ideas Longer sling length Shorter counterweight anchor Swing arm with varied settings Wide base design Metal braces for support Trapezoid shaped sides

Sketches

Refinement Trapezoid sides -> Triangle Sides Shorter sling length Longer Anchor Added an angled nail for sling release Added ring to release sling for smooth release Added metal sling track

Analysis Energy Conservation: Dowel rotation (friction) Length of counterweight anchor Friction of release mechanism Length of sling

Decision / Implementation

Results / Discussion Performance: 43 ’ Negative 25 ’ due to weight.7 ’ Offset Weight 18 pounds Score: -12.1

Suggested Improvements Create a design that isn ’ t so wide. Use thinner cut wood. Multiple pre set release angles. Smoother dowel rotation.

Conclusion The main problem with the trebuchet was that it weighed a lot. The weight of the trebuchet lead to poor score results. Design revisions lead to a drastic change in final design
