Over the course of the weekend, a determined group of individuals came together to put their skills to the test. Using only spare metal parts and their collective wits, they constructed a trebuchet, a medieval siege weapon that uses gravity and leverage to launch projectiles.
 
Their goal:
to see just how far they could launch a pumpkin.
 
The excitement was palpable as they put the finishing touches on their trebuchet and prepared to launch their first pumpkin. The countdown began, and with a loud “heave-ho!”, the pumpkin soared through the air. The crowd cheered as it flew farther than anyone had expected.
But the team wasn’t satisfied with just one successful launch. They continued to make adjustments and fine-tune their trebuchet, determined to launch their pumpkins even farther. The results were astounding, as pumpkins flew higher and farther than anyone had thought possible.
 
See for yourself the impressive results of their experiment and be a part of the excitement. Don’t miss out on the next one!
