Well I thought this would be interesting to post in “Other Build Logs”. No, this doesn’t have anything to do with Batman but it still is pretty damn cool. I built this trebuchet for my fraternity house on campus. I go to UCF (Orlando) and since we got a new stadium we figured we would start some new traditions. Every home game we have an object (usually a pumpkin) painted up like the other teams mascot. One hour before the game we launch it from our front lawn, across two lanes, a median, another two lanes, over some grass, and then into a lake. I call it “Mjolnir” which is the name of the Hammer of Thor. It all comes from Viking mythology because are fraternity ATO mascot is the Viking. Here’s some pics!

I dont see a "medieval siege weapon". It's art. Yea, thats it. Those nutty art fuckers get away with putting piles of garbage all over campi, surely you can have this as it actually has some usefulness.
