Trebuchet Test Day

When our trebuchet was first tested, we found that it was doing fairly well. It was hurling the tennis ball about 15 meters. We didn't need to make many changes on test day, except with our pouch breaking we had to make a new one. We also played around with bending the nail back and fourth, trying to make the tennis ball go further, and also to choose an angle that would benefit us the best for the accuracy competition. Overall, our test day went better than we expected it too.
