Today we began cutting wood for the frame of the trebuchet. We also finalized our dimensions for the whole project. The base is going to be 1 meter by 60 cm. The height to the axle should be about 80 cm. The height to the top of the arm when it is straight up and down will be between 1.25 to 1.5 meters. We decided that we want to keep the same ratio of length from axle to length from axle to weight bucket as on our model. Just in case, we are going to drill more holes in the arm so that we can change the ratio if we need to.
