What does a trebuchet look like?
The only difference between a trebuchet and a catapult is a catapult is triggered by a spring mechanism and a trebuchet is triggered by weight placed on the throwing. You put weight on the short end of the throwing arm and your projectile goes in a sling attached to the other end. When you release the throwing arm the weight pulls the long end of the throwing arm and launches the sling over and around the rest of the trebuchet. The weight can be positioned in one of two ways, it can be in a fixed position on the end of the throwing arm then there must be wheels attached to the base of the trebuchet so the swinging of the arm doesn't tip over the trebuchet. The other option is to attach the weight with a swinging mechanism such as a basket attached to the end of the arm.
