Trebuchet Challenge Recommendations

During the process of building our trebuchet a lot of things actually went wrong for me and my partner. During test day our trebuchet threw our tennis ball nowhere. It would throw it straight down or the tennis ball would stay in the pouch. After a few frustrating days we finally got it to work when it had to. The things that went well for us would be that our trebuchet performed when it needed to.

Some tips for future students would be to use a denim material for your pouch not a cloth material because the cloth will wrap around the tennis ball and not let it go. Also use strong wood because you don't want your trebuchet falling apart.
