Hello, I am new, so sorry if this is in the wrong thread, if it is please move it. But anyways, I was wondering if there is a place online which explains how to build a trebuchet (preferably with Popsicle sticks)?


Thank You

Well that's a catapult, I'm looking for a Trebuchet
 
A trebuchet is a catapult... just a specialized variety thereof. If you scroll down the page, most of the links specifically mention it. I'm not suggesting that you actually pay for any of the plans, but just looking at the pictures of the models should be enough to let you make your own.
