Building a mega (pendulum) catapult

The hurling catapult or spoonblade was the most destructive artillery weapon in the Middle Ages. It was used to hurl projectiles against or over castle walls. With a good design and execution, can you repeat this trick and beat the other teams?

Back to basic
With extra thick wooden poles of up to 3 meters in length, various constructions can be built. Teams are given 1.5 hours to do this.

Pioneering: from nothing to something
It starts with a design on paper and building a prototype with the lightweight bamboo sticks. In the next phase, the team gets down to the real work! For this, the necessary knots are first taught. Once everyone has practiced the mast throw, lashing and winding in several variations, they can start working independently.

Alternatives available
Various versions of a catapult, trebuchet and/or spoonblade are available. Which solution will the team come up with?

Need extra challenge?
We can add various game elements to the assignment as desired.
