Lego Trebuchet

Posted on by Bart

In a previous blog post you could read about my Lego catapult.

After a couple of successful attacks with the catapult, I’ve decided to extend the design towards a trebuchet. The differences are rather small: a catapult has a basket to hold a projectile, while a trebuchet has a swinging arm.

I used a piece of cloth to hold the poor minifig.

The range of the trebuchet is quite a bit larger than the catapult. And it’s also pretty cool to see the swinging arm in action.

And if you want to launch some other things using Lego, maybe you should check my paper plane launcher.

If you are familiar with Lord of the Rings, then you have probably already heard of Gandalf the Grey, Saruman the White, or maybe even Radagast the Brown. And perhaps you even read somewhere that there are even two more wizards, of which even Gandalf doesn’t remember the name anymore. But did you know that there is a sixth wizard called Bart (referred to as Baruman by some)? While the other wizards were fighting wars over a single ring, Bart was collecting hundreds of rings playing Sonic the Hedgehog. Furthermore, Bart used his Palantir to watch Star Wars instead of challenging Sauron. And finally he visited the libraries to study ancient lore, mostly found in comic books. Now however, Bart has grown up, married a sorceress, and they have two sweet little hobbits. You can follow Bart’s adventures on geekstuff.blog.
